Auditing a Course

Some summer school courses may be available for auditing on a very limited basis. Individuals wishing to audit summer courses must first find out if the course they wish to take is open to auditors and then get the approval of the instructor. The instructor must sign the audit form. (In the case of art courses, the Dean of the School of Art and Design must also approve and sign the form.) If the student has an advisor, the advisor must sign also. Registering to audit a course cannot be done on-line. A paper audit form must be completed, approved as indicated above, and submitted to the Student Service Center. Auditors will be charged 50% of the regular course tuition. For further information about auditing a summer course, please contact the Student Service Center at 607.871.2123 or via email.
