AUDIT POLICY
Education Code 76370 permits community colleges to allow individuals to audit courses, that is, to sit in
without participating in class activities or being required to take exams. The intent is to provide
individuals with opportunities to explore areas of interest without being subjected to the demands of class
activities or evaluation and grading. An additional intent is that faculty will not have additional work
required because of the presence of individuals auditing courses.
Therefore, in accordance with Education Code 76370, students at Antelope Valley College and
community members will be permitted to audit courses only if the admission of auditors will not result
in credit students being denied access to a course. However, auditing may not be appropriate for all
sections of a course or for all courses even if class seats are available.
Students who want to audit a class must complete a “Request to Audit a Class” form available at the
Admissions and Records Registration Office. Audit request forms will not be made available to students
until after the first week of classes. This procedure helps insure that students auditing a class will not take
a seat away from a student who needs the class for credit. Instructor approval and payment of fees is
required prior to attending a class being audited.
FEES
A fee of $15 per unit will be charged with the exception that students enrolled in ten or more units of
credit classes at AVC will not be charged to audit 3 or fewer units. These students will be charged to
audit more than 3 units at the $15 per unit rate.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Students and other individuals will be invited to participate in class activities at the discretion of the
instructor; however, the instructor is not required to evaluate in any way class activities and projects.
Auditors may not take quizzes and examinations and will not receive a grade.
An individual auditing a course will not be permitted to change his or her audit status to a credit status.
An individual enrolled in a class for credit will not be permitted to change his or her credit status to an
audit status.
Individuals who are auditing a course and are not enrolled in any courses as credit students will not be
entitled to any of the services or privileges provided to currently enrolled students.
