Audit (AU)

By auditing a course, a student may participate in course activities, but does not receive a formal transcript grade. Students must indicate intent to audit a course at registration or by the deadline listed in the MCC Schedule of Classes for that semester. Audited courses are not eligible for the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend. Students will be responsible for the full in-state or out-of-state tuition. Audited courses do not meet the credit hour requirements for financial aid or veteran benefits and may not be applied to certificates or degrees.

Course credits for which an Audit (AU) is earned will not count in Attempted Hours (AHRS) and Earned Hours (EHRS). No Quality Points (QPTS) will be assigned, and there will be no impact on either the Term or Cumulative GPA.

The "AU" grade will continue to be included in the grading policy. Audit is a registration status in Banner. "AU" is automatically posted as the grade. Students must choose the audit option by census date so that colleges can reconcile the COF file. Students need to be informed that the COF stipend cannot be used for "audit' courses. If students change to the audit status following initial enrollment they will be responsible for the entire in-state tuition, not just the student portion. Colleges may wish to consider suggesting the S/U grading option rather than audit because the COF stipend will be eligible for S/U courses but not for audit courses.
