Audit Students
Current students and Biola alumni wishing to audit must complete the audit application and follow registration procedures. All auditors must have completed at least one semester of successful academic work at Biola before they will be allowed to audit a course. Biola alumni may audit one 3-credit course free of charge by way of a certificate provided by the Office of Alumni Engagement.
Stipulations in the audit policy:
- Students may audit a course only if space is available.
- Auditing students are registered for an audit course after the second week of the semester.
- An auditor only participates in lectures, and they are not allowed to submit papers or take exams.
- Only lecture courses delivered in-person (on Biola’s campus) may be audited.
- Audit registration will not be included in computing a full-time academic load.
- A course taken for audit cannot be repeated for credit at a later date.
- Students wishing to audit graduate-level courses must have earned, be/been enrolled in, or been admitted to a graduate program of equal or greater academic level. For instance, a student wishing to audit a master's level course must at least have earned, be/been enrolled in, or have been admitted to a master's level degree program.
- Doctoral-level courses are not typically open to auditors. If permitted, doctoral-level auditors are subject to full doctoral-level tuition.
- All auditors must pay the appropriate per credit fee (see Financial Information for fees).
- Auditors must receive permission from both the Office of the Registrar and the instructor of the course.
- Audit fees are non-refundable.
Contact the Office of the Registrar for an audit application and further instructions.
