Registered students, faculty and staff, and alumni of New Paltz, as well as persons over 60 years of age, who would like to audit a course must obtain an audit form from the Office of Records and Registration. The completed form must have the approval and signatures of the chair of the department offering the course and the course instructor. The audit form must be returned to the department offering the course by the end of the "course add period."
The audit privilege permits the auditor to attend a course and to do assignments. It does not permit the auditor to take examinations in the course or to have work evaluated in any other way. The auditor receives a “grade” of AU for the course, and no credits are earned. Students may not change their enrollment status from audit to credit, or from credit to audit.
The student must obtain written approval from both the course instructor and the Department Chair.
Registered New Paltz students may audit courses without paying a registration fee. For all others, a fee may be applied. This fee is non-refundable after the first week of classes.
Audit privileges are not available in studio, laboratory, performance courses, or courses where class participation of students is of major importance, nor are they available in credit-free courses offered by the institution or in any foreign study program or course.
