Course Auditing

What is Auditing?

High school students auditing a class will not receive credit, but the audited course will count as an enrolled course in the student’s schedule toward full-time status.

Why Do Students Request to Audit a Course?

Auditing a course is most often used when a student needs to retake the second semester of a yearlong course for credit. In that situation, a student may audit the first semester of that course to stay refreshed on the content in order to be in a better position for the second semester. Auditing may also be used to repeat a course to gain more skill before taking the next level for credit. (i.e. I received a D in French 2 so I would like to audit it before taking French 3.)

What an Audit is NOT: An audit may not be used to avoid taking additional coursework or to take an advanced course without receiving a grade.

Qualifications to Audit:

• Teacher, counselor, and administrator must agree that the purposes of an audit are being met through this request (see above) • Student must be in good credit standing for graduation • Seats must be open in the desired course. Audit requests will be held until scheduling is complete to ensure first choice goes to students who have not yet taken the class. • Auditing may be part of a S.L.I.F.E. or Multilingual Learner entry plan.

Expectations:

• The student must plan to attend the class and complete all assignments, tests, quizzes as they would if the work was being graded. • If the student does not meet these expectations, they will receive an “F” in lieu of the audit.

Fees are collected from students when they enroll in courses as a way to offset the cost of consumable materials for courses at the secondary level.
