Some specialized courses require permission of the instructor and the Department chair before a student may enroll. Additionally, students not meeting the prerequisites, co-requisites or other requirements to enroll in a course may request a waiver from the Department chair with responsibility for that course. The Department chair has the authority to issue the waiver and permit the student to enroll.

Course Load

• The maximum standard class load for the summer term is 9 credits.
•  The maximum standard class load for an interim session is one course or workshop.
• Students desiring to enroll in more than the maximum standard class load should have either a 3.0 GPA for the semester (excluding summer school) immediately preceding the semester in which the overload is desired or a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
• Students must obtain the permission of the Registrar to carry an overload.  Additional tuition costs are incurred by taking an overload.

Auditing Courses

A student may audit a class for no credit only on the approval of the instructor. Regular fees and enrollment procedures are required. However, the student will not be permitted to take the final examination and no credit hours earned nor any indication of the level of performance will appear on the transcript entry. Audit enrollments do not fulfill requirements for load considerations by the Veterans Administration, and they may not be applied toward the determination of full-time or part-time status.

Students auditing a course are expected to make a commitment to their education by attending classes regularly. If the auditing student fails to meet the regular attendance requirement as defined by the instructor, the instructor will notify the Registrar to record a W on the final grade report.

Students who initially enroll in a course for credit may be permitted to change their enrollment to audit during the free add-drop period of the semester.

During the term that a course is being audited, the audit cannot be changed to graduate or undergraduate credit. However, the student may enroll in the same course for credit during a subsequent semester. Coursework must be completed during the semester that credit is earned.
