Bring the audit form to class to obtain the instructor’s signature.
Submit the form to Student Administrative Services on or before the last day of add/drop for that class (remember, some classes are on an alternate schedule. Check web registration or the printable course schedule to see drop/add dates for a particular course.).
You will be notified via email if you were admitted as an audit or not. If you were not admitted, you must stop attending immediately.
Students who are admitted to a class will be charged $25 per credit hour plus all related course fees. Be aware that this charge may be billed to your account after you receive your financial aid refund check. Therefore, your financial aid may not automatically pay for your audit classes.
Audit FAQ
Which courses may be taken as audit?
Only courses that are listed by the department as available for audit may be audited. Weekend workshop and summer classes are never available for audit. See the Schedule of Classes Available for Audit for specific courses available.
Students may only audit in courses that are not full. If there is not room in the course, the student will be informed. Students who are not approved to audit must stop attending immediately. If there are any questions the student should contact registration immediately.
Who may audit a class?
Only full-time, degree-seeking students may audit a class. Students who are not full-time, but are in the last semester at Naropa University may also audit.
What permission is needed for a student to audit a course?
Students must have the signature of the instructor in order to audit courses. However, students will only be allowed to be registered as an audit in the class if there is space available and if the course is has been approved for audit by the department.
Do I get a grade?
The audit course shows on the transcript but the student does not receive a grade. The instructor is not obligated to grade or provide feedback on the student’s work.
Why did my friend get to audit a class but I didn't?
The instructor has the discretion to permit as many or as few students to audit a class as he or she would like. Students will only be registered in courses designated by the department as available for audit, regardless of instructor permission.
Departments and instructors may not increase the class limit in order to allow students to register. This is unfair to students who may not have taken the class, seeing that it is full.
Audits are registered on a first-come, first-served basis. If there is only one free space in a course, registration will give it to the first person who submitted an audit form.
Can I drop my audit?
Students may not drop, withdraw or receive a refund for audited classes.
I’m registered for a course for credit, but I’d like to take it for audit, instead.
Students may only drop a course they are registered in for credit, and then register for an audit at the discretion of SAS. SAS will ensure that by doing this, the student is not preventing other students from registering for credit.
I took a course for audit but I did the work and the instructor said she would give me a grade. May I have the course changed to credit?
Under no circumstances may an audited course be changed to credit.
