Auditing a Course

Only students enrolled through the Visiting Student Program may audit MU courses. Regular degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students may only enroll as auditors by exception and with the written permission of the instructor of the course to be audited. This permission must be forwarded to the student’s advisor or advising unit for final approval and processing.
Auditors are generally expected to attend class regularly. Specific requirements for auditor enrollment are determined by the instructor, or where applicable, by the department. An instructor may request that an auditor be dropped from the course at any time for failing to meet these requirements.
Auditors do not receive a grade or credit toward a degree. After electing auditor status, students cannot subsequently change to regular enrollment.
 

• Those allowed to audit receive no credit toward a degree.  The credit received when auditing a course does not count toward your verification of full, half or less than half time enrollment status. This credit is not reported to the National Student Clearinghouse for enrollment verification's.
• Students pay standard fees for the course(s) they audit.
• Students may not change their registration status (audit vs. credit) after two weeks following the first day of classes in regular session or the equivalent thereof in a shorter session. Check the academic calendar for deadlines.

The School of Law may set a different deadline for students enrolled in Law courses for credit to change to audit status. This deadline may be later than the standard five-week period.
