Registration for Senior Auditors will begin approximately one week prior to the start of the semester. You may refer to the academic calendar for more information. Please note, once you are registered into your course/s, have been assigned an AUD grade, and the semester begins, we cannot drop you from your courses. You may review our College Bulletin for further details.
