Auditing of Courses


A student wishing to audit a course instead of taking it for credit must obtain written permission from the instructor of the course at the first class meeting and then register for the class in the Office of Records and Registration (WAC A-203). A student wishing to change from audit to credit must do so within the first three weeks of class. Students changing from credit to audit must do so no later than Monday of mid-term week and must secure the written permission of the instructor.

Students changing from credit to audit after the official institutional refund date are responsible for the full course tuition. A fee of $125 is charged to audit a course. Students who take courses at Saint Xavier University and earn grades of D, F or W, or who audit courses, are not permitted to earn CLEP credit as a replacement.

Alumni of Saint Xavier University are entitled to audit credit courses free of charge. There is a $25 registration fee. Information on this privilege may be obtained from Office of Alumni Relations. Alumni who take advantage of this benefit must pay any and all fees (exclusive of tuition) associated with the course.
