Audit Policy

Audit Policy & Procedures

In accordance with California Education Code Section 76370 and North Orange County Community College District Policy Section 5009, students may audit designated courses under the following conditions:

Students may audit a course only if they have previously taken the course at Fullerton College and received a passing grade or have taken the course the maximum number of times allowed. Audit forms are accepted at the start of each term/semester. An Audit Request Form must be submitted to the Admissions & Records Office by the add deadline of the course. Once the request has been submitted, students will not be permitted to change from an audit to a credit status. Students enrolling in a course for credit will be given priority over students auditing. The petition must include both the instructor’s and division dean’s signatures.

Students auditing college courses are charged the audit fee. Any outstanding balances must be paid before auditing a course. Payment is required at the time the audit form is submitted and is non-refundable. If a student is not enrolled in any other Fullerton College courses, a mandatory health fee will be charged. For variable unit courses, the fee charged will be based on the maximum number of units. Financial aid fee waivers do not cover courses that are audited. Students on fee waivers must pay the auditing fees.

Students who audit must adhere to all course rules and regulations, including attendance. Instructors are not required to administer tests or provide test materials to auditing students. No record of auditing or grade will be noted on the student’s transcript.

Please note, ALL fees are subject to change without notice. All students are strongly encouraged to obtain a campus photo ID card.
