Additional Information

Courses are taken as an audit with no university credit awarded. Students desiring credit must follow regular admissions and registration procedures and pay full tuition and fees. At no point in the future can an audited course be converted to a credit course. Participants should be qualified for the courses they wish to take (where specific qualifications exist). The course instructor has the sole authority to make this decision. Space must be available in the course. Students cannot be enrolled in courses for credit and senior audit courses during the same semester. All university policies and regulations must be followed.
