Auditing a course means a student may attend class but will not receive course credit for attendance or work performed. The instructor reserves the right to restrict a student's participation in class assignments, testing, classroom discussion and/or other class activities. Students auditing courses should discuss their audit status with the instructor.
Enrolling for Audit Status
- Check the lists of courses below. You may not audit classes listed in the Non-Audit Classes list. Audit by Permission Classes require a Restricted Audit Approval Form, available in each department, signed by the department chair or program coordinator and the dean.
- You must wait until after the class has begun to register.
- Complete an Audit Request Form in person at any SWIC campus or at the SWIC Scott Air Force Base office.
- Pay. Tuition and fees are the same whether auditing a class or taking it for credit.
Restrictions
Status: Once registered, changing status from credit to audit, or vice versa, is not permitted. Closed class cards are not issued to audit status students.
Financial Aid: Audit status in a class does not qualify for financial aid eligibility.
Audited classes cannot be used at a later date for college credit or to fulfill admission or graduation requirements.
