Adding Credit Courses Students may add credit courses after the second academic week of the semester only if the instructor believes the student will not have difficulty starting the course late and then approves the course addition in writing. Non-degree students must complete all registration for credit courses by the end of the second academic week of the semester. Exceptions for late registration will be granted only in rare situations, and will require the written permission of the BGS Assistant Director, course instructor and department head or program director.
Full payment is required at the time a course is added.
Auditors do not participate in class assignments or take exams but the audit will appear on the auditors' transcripts. However, auditors are required to pay regular University course fees. A student may convert a course from audit to credit status after classes have begun, provided the student obtains the necessary permissions within a specified time period. A change from credit to audit status is also possible. Discontinuing class attendance or informing the instructor of a desire to drop does not constitute an official drop of the course.
