Auditing Courses

Graduate Students may request permission to audit Graduate courses only. This requires a completed form, signed by the instructor and an Academic Advisor at both the beginning and end of the course. The application form can be found on our website : https://mbastudent.degroote.mcmaster.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/69/2021/09/Audit-Course-Request.pdf

Please submit this application to Student Experience. Upon completion of the course, and subject to confirmation from the instructor that their expectations regarding the student’s participation were met (i.e. that the student attended at least 80% of the class), the course will be formally added to the transcript and a grade of “AUD” will be assigned. No other grade will be assigned.

Please also note the following:

• Registered, second-year MBA students are eligible to audit courses.
• Students must have successfully completed the prerequisites for the course.
• When students audit a course, they attend classes but do not complete assignments or write the final exam.
• While auditing, students may be able to register for credit in the course if you contact the Student Experience – Academic office before the registration deadline.
• Audited courses have no academic credit and an audited course may not be retaken for credit.
• Fees may apply (please see an Academic Advisor for details).
