Students who wish to audit a course must acquire the instructor’s written permission and a written summary of the minimum expectations by the instructor prior to registering for the course or by the end of the first class session, whichever comes first.
CGU minimum expectations are 80% attendance and participation or equivalent as deemed by the instructor.
Students who meet the instructor’s expectations will receive a positive mark for the course as indicated by the notation “AU” on his/her transcript.
Students who do not participate in the course as agreed upon with the instructor at the beginning of the course are subject to being withdrawn form the course by the instructor or registrar. Students who are withdrawn after the deadline to drop a course (noted on the academic calendar) will be penalized with a mark of “W” on the transcript for the course.
Registering or Adding Instructions
Students must obtain the instructor’s written permission and expectations to audit a course. This can be written directly on an original registration form or add/drop form. Click here to access to forms.
Next, the student should take the paperwork to his/her academic department for processing.
Audited courses cannot be added to the registration online by the student. Only academic department staff members have access to add audited courses to a student’s registration.
Dropping Instructions
If a student chooses not to participate in an audit for which he/she registered, the student must drop the course by the designated deadlines in the academic calendar as not to incur academic/financial penalties.
Students should fill out a Change in Registration (Add/Drop) Form and take it to his/her academic department to process. Click here to download the form (PDF version).
