Credit and Grades

Credit: Persons having registered for credit must complete all of the course work as required by the instructor.

Audit: An auditor must pay the same tuition and meet the same prerequisites as a credit student. He receives full privileges of class participation, if he chooses to exercise them. An auditor does not receive a grade; he receives only a mark of “AUD.”

Change from Credit or Audit: A student may request from the Registrar that his status in a course be changed from credit to audit, or vice versa, provided the request is submitted in writing and is accompanied by the $3.00 fee, no later than the end of the ninth week of the fall semester (see Calendar) and no later than the twelfth week of the spring semester. Reporting a credit-audit change to the instructor does not constitute an offi cial change. Students not paying their own fees must submit written approval from their Administrative Offi ces when requesting a change. Grades: At the close of the semester, students taking courses for credit will receive written notice by mail of grades received. Upon request of the student or sponsor, grades will be forwarded to Personnel or University offi ce. The following grades are used:
