Admissions requirements for special partnership programs, such as visiting or dual-degree, are likewise described on the admissions webpage.

Auditing Students

A student may audit a course with the approval of the academic advisor. The deadline date for declaring audit status is indicated in the Academic Calendar . The auditing fee is the usual tuition for the course and laboratory charges. A grade of AU is recorded if attendance standards are met. If attendance standards are not met, the grade of W is assigned. No academic credit is grated. An audited course may be taken for academic credit in the future, but all course requirements must be met at that time. An audited course does not count toward the 12 credit hours which must be amaintained per semester in order to remain eligible for most forms of financial aid.
