All auditors must be admitted to the University and go through the usual registration process. Tuition for audited classes is the same as for classes taken for credit. No credit may be earned for an audited class - by examination or otherwise. Students are not allowed to audit a course and subsequently register for credit. Audited courses count as part of the student's total course load, but may not be counted in the six hour minimum graduate credit enrollment required of graduate assistants. Students wishing to audit a class should obtain permission from the appropriate department head or Graduate Director.
