02.05.05 Auditing a Course
Students may register to audit certain courses that are not required in their degree programs. Courses which require the registrant's active participation (e.g., ensembles, opera theater, applied music instruction) are not appropriate for audit registration. Auditors may not contribute to class discussion nor will any class work they do be evaluated by the instructor. They will receive neither grade nor credit for the audited course. The fee for audit registration is listed on the University Bursar?s Office Schedule of Tuition & Fees www.rochester.edu/adminfinance/bursar/charges.htm.
Permission to audit must be obtained in writing from the instructor, and any change of registration from credit to audit (or vice versa) must be accomplished before the end of the seventh week of classes. Before student audit status is approved, the prospective auditor must reach agreement with the professor of the course to be audited concerning attendance or other expectations to be met by the student.
