Question

Who can audit a course?

Answer

You can request to Audit a class by submitting the Audit Application form to Admissions & Records. All requirements on the form must be met before your request will be processed. Once a class has been changed to “Audit” it cannot be changed back to “Graded.”

Students can audit a course if they fall under one of the following guidelines adopted by the Yuba Community College District as outlined by Title V Education Code section 76370.

  • Students auditing a course must be eligible for admission to the College as regularly enrolled students.
  • Students enrolling for credit will have priority in all credit classes. Auditing will be permitted only at the conclusion of the late registration period.
  • Auditors will complete an Auditor Application Form, which must be signed by the appropriate instructor. Faculty members instructing audit eligible courses have the right to refuse auditors.
  • The completed Audit Application Form must be filed with the Admissions & Records Office.
  • A nonrefundable audit fee of $15 per unit will be payable at the time of enrollment by the auditor.
  • Auditors will not be charged the regular Enrollment Fee which is paid for credit enrollment, and the Nonresident Tuition Fee will not apply.
  • Course costs will be charged to auditors where appropriate.
  • Auditors must meet course prerequisites.
  • Auditors must purchase parking permits.
  • No transcript of record will be maintained for audited classes.
  • Auditors will not be counted in enrollment-based decisions about maintaining or canceling classes.
  • No transfer from audit to credit status or the reverse will be permitted.
  • Audited classes do not count toward units for any purpose, e.g., financial aid, veteran’s benefits, full-time student status.
