Interested in a course, but don’t want to worry about how it’ll affect your GPA? You can take the course for no credit, which is known as auditing.
Audited courses aren’t counted as completed academic credit and don’t count toward your degree progress. They also don’t count toward your enrollment status for financial aid or loan deferment purposes.
An audited course will be listed on your grade report and on your transcript as NC (no credit). You won’t receive a grade for courses you audit.
After you’ve started the audit process, you can’t change back to a letter grade for the course. Also, some schools do not allow students to register for a course for credit after they’ve audited it.
Tuition for an audited course is the same as when you take the course for credit.
