Current Columbia Business School students may audit Business School electives with the instructor's permission if there are open seats in the class after enrollment is complete (after the add/drop period), within the stated capacity of the course. Audited courses are not noted on the transcript; students do not receive academic credit and are not charged tuition.
Auditing agreements are made between the student and the professor. The Office of Academic Records and Registration does not require notification. To get Canvas access for an audited class, please be in contact with the instructor or their department's administrative staff.
Auditing may not be used to circumvent course capacities and stated pre-/co-requisites in order to earn credit for a course. Current students must drop or withdraw from the course if they are approved to audit the course while enrolled.
Auditors may not concurrently enroll in courses for credit. Auditing students who are considering taking a course for credit must register for the course during the applicable add/drop periods. Requests to enroll in an audited course that come after the add/drop period will not be honored. A student auditing a course will not be able to enroll in the course for credit in a future term.
Current students who wish to audit a course in another school should contact the instructor or the appropriate administrative office in that school for permission. It is the student's responsibility to be fully informed of that school's requirements for auditors, as policies vary according to the program, including dropping the course if approved to audit the course while enrolled.
