 GRADUATE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS ACADEMIC INFORMATION AUDITING COURSES A graduate student admitted to Francis Marion University as either a graduate degree student or a graduate non-degree student may elect to audit one or more graduate courses. Audited courses do not carry credit, but any courses audited are noted on the student's official university record. Audited courses are considered part of the course load of graduate students in determining overload approval but may not be used to satisfy any prerequisite for a graduate course or any requirement for financial assistance (for instance, the determination of full-time status). Students who audit a course should adhere to the class policies including attendance. Students who do not adhere to the stated policies may be dropped from the course for not attending. No credit may be established for an audited course by an examination subsequent to the auditing of the course. Audited courses are charged at the same rate as courses taken for credit. Changes from audit to credit are not permitted after the regular change of schedule period has ended. Change from credit to audit is permitted after change of schedule period has ended only if the student is doing passing work in the course and only upon the approval of the Provost. |
