Course Audits

Students who wish to audit an online course may do so for a fee (see Financial Aid & Expenses section). Audit fees are not covered in block-rate tuition, and audited courses will not be used to determine full- or part-time status. Auditors will not be expected to take quizzes or examinations. A grade of AU will be recorded on the auditor’s permanent record.

Audited courses will not count toward graduation requirements.

Course audits may not be added via the traditional registration route, but must be requested by emailing the Registrar’s Office at registrar@swu.edu. Requests to audit an online course will only be accepted during the registration timeframes before a term starts. Audit requests for online courses will be processed and added, pending availability. A student wishing to change from credit to audit status for a course may only do so until the last day of the registration deadline. Requests to change to or from audit status after the registration deadline will be denied. Courses considered lecture/lab, labs, private instruction, etc. may not be audited.
