Audit
Auditing is not available during our winter and summer sessions.
However, for the fall and spring semesters auditing is a great way for you to attend classes without receiving college credit. The notation "AU" will appear on your transcript. Since no credit is earned, the course cannot be transferred to another college. You may audit a class if space is available and the instructor gives permission. The Roy H. Park School of Communications requires that you obtain departmental approval to audit lab or production courses. Graduate-level music workshops may be taken during the summer on a noncredit basis at a reduced rate.
