Audit Policy

Students taking online Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Health (PBPH) undergraduate courses or Science Prerequisite for the Health Professions (SPHP) courses through the College of  Professional Studies may, with prior consent of the Dean’s office and/or Program Director, enroll in a course for an audit grade (AU).  An auditor is expected to participate in classes, engage in discussions and course activities, and complete assignments as determined by the instructor, but is not required to take examinations. Auditing a course does not count towards enrollment status (i.e., part-time, full-time, etc.) and therefore cannot be considered for financial aid purposes, veterans benefits, etc. Audit courses carry zero credit and are charged full tuition. 

Enrolling in a course for an audit grade (AU) may be done at the time of registration, or as a result of an approved Enrollment Status Change request which must be accompanied by a signed approval from the CPS Dean’s Office and/or Program Director. An Enrollment Status Change request must be done prior to the completion of the course’s final exam or final evaluation and cannot be retroactively requested once the course, final exam, or final evaluation is completed. Reversal or change of an audit grade is not possible (i.e., once enrolled for AU the grade becomes permanent on a student’s academic record). The student who wishes later to be graded for such a course must re-enroll in and pay for graded credit.
