If you audit a course, does submitting paperwork prevent you from attending the class?

If you audit a course, does submitting paperwork prevent you from attending the class?

• A. Yes, you can no longer attend.
• B. No, you can still attend the class.
• C. Auditing requires you to drop the course.
• D. You must re-enroll in the course to attend.

Answer: (B)

Auditing a course means you attend the class to learn, but you don’t earn credit. The paperwork to audit is simply a formal way to record that you’re an auditor and specify your status with the registrar. It doesn’t block you from being in the room; attending is typically allowed, though you usually won’t be graded for the course, and some instructors may have specific rules about what auditors can do or access (like labs or assignments). If you’re choosing to audit, you should check any instructor permissions or seat limits, but submitting the audit form itself does not prevent you from attending. The other ideas imply you’d have to drop, re-enroll, or lose access, which isn’t how auditing generally works.
