With permission of the Program Director, a non-matriculated student or, in special cases, a matriculated student may audit a course. The tuition fee is the same as a regular graduate credit course. A student who changes status from credit to audit after the seventh week of classes (or, in summer sessions, after the third week) must have permission of the Program Director. No refund is available to those who change status from degree credit to audit. All changes must be processed by the Registrar prior to the last class meeting.
