Arts & Sciences Day Audit Program
In addition to the Special Audit option for evening courses in University College, adult students may audit selected undergraduate day courses in the College of Arts & Sciences for $350 on a noncredit, space-available basis. The Arts & Sciences Day Audit Program is designed for personal enrichment, and courses taken on a special audit basis do not receive credit toward a degree or certificate program. Students are encouraged to attend lectures and discussions, but are not expected to do written work. Spring 2009 day audit courses are noted below.
