- 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 subject 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.
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.
Audit petition forms are available from Admissions and Records
in the Student Services Building. The forms will not be
accepted until after the first week of classes; instructor
approval and payment of fees to the cashier is required
prior to attending classes.
Fees - A fee of $18 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 $18 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. State Education Code is available at
http://ccr.oal.ca.gov and in the AVC Library.
