Academic Credit vs. Audit

During registration, a student has the option to select to take courses for academic credit or to only audit a course.

Academic Credit: A course must be taken for academic credit if a student wants to apply it towards an APUS program or to transfer it to another university.

Audit: If students take a course as AUDIT, it cannot be applied towards a degree program and cannot be transferred to another university. Students do not receive any course credit, nor any grades for audited courses other than X, and audited courses do not have any impact on a student's GPA. If a student has been awarded transfer credit for a course, they will not be able to audit the course.

Students should contact [email protected] with questions regarding auditing a course.
