Occasional visitation of classes by students is allowed with the consent of the instructor. Any extended attendance requires enrollment as an auditor.
Auditors are admitted to classes on a space-available basis only. A non-refundable audit fee is charged.
TCU Scholars are given the opportunity to audit one class (for which auditing is permitted) without fee within 12 months after notification of eligibility. TCU Scholars will be expected to follow established regulations for auditors.
The following regulations apply:
Certain classes may not be audited — laboratory and clinical classes, Ranch Management classes, laboratory sections of lecture classes, and activity and performance classes (e.g., studio art courses, music performance courses, and ballet classes).
The only period during which students may register for an audit or change a credit class to audit is from the second day of late registration to the last day of late registration as published in the University calendar. It is recommended that prospective students consult the instructors of courses in which they are interested before they register. Students wishing to audit graduate courses must be admitted for graduate studies and have written approval of either the instructor of the course or the Dean of the college in which the course is taught.
Classroom recitation and participation may be restricted at the discretion of the instructor. No grade is assigned and no credit is awarded.
If credit is desired, the student must register for and repeat the regular course after paying regular tuition.
The auditor’s name will appear on the instructor’s class roster as “AU.” The instructor must certify at the end of the semester that the student has attended as an auditor by entering an “AU” so it will appear on the student’s transcript. Auditors who are not approved by the instructor should have a final grade of “NAU” recorded on the roster. Enrollments with “NAU” will be omitted from the student’s record.
