Departments are expected to organize departmental research seminars which provide students with appropriate opportunity to develop skills and discuss their research with faculty and students. Listings in the University Calendar for 990 courses in individual departments provide specific information on the requirements of each academic unit. The earlier the form is submitted and approved, the smoother the registration process will be for students when they register. During the busy days of the registration period, it is very frustrating for the student and for Graduate College staff to have to send the student back to the department in order to initiate this approval process. Auditing Courses With appropriate permission from their own department or college and from the unit offering the courses, currently registered graduate students may audit undergraduate or graduate courses.
Fees are applicable.
Such courses must be indicated on the registration form. They will be recorded on the transcript. It is the student's responsibility to obtain initialed approval for those courses not offered by the home department, before presenting the registration form to the Graduate Chair and then to the CGSR for approval. Early attention to this procedure is particularly important when the student is taking an undergraduate course. Late arrivals may well find that there is no room in the class.
