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.
