Definition
A registration status in which a student enrolls in a course for the purpose of learning the material without receiving academic credit or a grade. Auditors typically pay a reduced fee, may or may not complete assignments, and do not have the course appear on their transcript for credit. Policies on what auditors can participate in vary by institution.
