You pay the standard tuition and fees for the course, but the credits are not included in the computation of study load for full-time/part-time determination or financial aid. If you want to audit a course for which you are already registered for credit, you must make the change by the add/drop deadline.

Make sure you've met writing and math placement requirements and prerequisites or you may not be able to register for some courses. See current in the ������ catalog.

The credit/no-credit option enables you to enroll in courses without affecting your overall GPA. One elective course per semester can be taken under this option.

Students who are on Academic Probation are limited to 13 credits per regular semester.

Enrollment in the summer semester is limited to no more than 15 credits.

Students who wish to take more than 18 credits in a regular semester must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Any student in good standing seeking an overload of 19 to 23 credits must get advisor approval; for more than 23 credits, or for any student with less than a 3.0 GPA, the dean of the student's college or school must also approve.

Withdrawing after the deadline:

• Course withdrawals after the withdrawal deadline are allowed only in exceptional cases and for serious and compelling reasons. 
• Approval is not automatic, and you will need to complete the Appeal for Late Withdraw form and provide documented evidence to support your request. Acceptable serious and compelling reasons may include:
  • death in the student's immediate family;
  • medical emergency for the student or immediate family; and
  • factors outside the student's control (e.g., fire or flood).

• Failing a course or avoiding an unsatisfactory grade is not an acceptable reason for seeking a late withdrawal or refund, and will not be approved.

• Appeals for late withdrawals after the deadline must be submitted within 30 class days after the beginning of the next regular semester. A written explanation of the reason and appropriate documentation is required upon submission. Submission of appeals and appropriate documentation after published deadlines will not be considered.
