Auditing and Repeating Courses
Auditing courses
Auditing courses allows students to attempt courses in areas they might avoid because of lack of background. Students may audit courses only on a space-available basis and only with signed approval of the instructor. Academic credit is not awarded for an audited course, so it is not considered a repeat of a previously passed course.
Course requirements do not apply in the case of an auditor. A change from audit to credit or credit to audit must be made within the first 30 calendar days of the semester or the comparable time period in a short session. A completed drop-add slip with instructor signature is required for such a change.
Students must register for audited courses at the Records and Registration Office and pay the regular tuition and fees.
Repeating courses
Courses repeated to raise any grades at WSC must be taken at WSC. This requirement may be waived with specific written approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. To repeat a course to raise a grade of “C’’ or above, the student should obtain the consent of the instructor and the department chair. The grade earned in repetition will stand. Some courses may be taken more than once for credit as required in the student’s program. This will be indicated in the catalog course description.
