| Auditing and sitting in on classes.
Hello again guys! I was wondering if anyone here knew what the procedure and expectations are if someone wants to audit a course at CPP. I want to sit in on a Philosophy 201 class and a graduate-level psych course just to check them out. I want to have to go through as little paper work and risk as possible. I've already taken an intro psych course at my community college, but I'd like to see the different between a Poly psych course and the course I took. I'm willing to sign up for the courses on some sort of audit basis if that's necessary, but I don't meet the prereqs for the psych course since I'm an undergrad and it's a grad course. Anyone know if there's a way around those requirements in you're auditing? And what are the audit expectations? What's the paperwork like and how readily do teachers accept auiding students? Is it possible to have a bad mark on your transcript if you decide to stop going to a course you're auditing or if you don't do very well? I have a feeling that I wouldn't be able to understand most of the psych course, so I don't want to sign up for it just for fun and end up having it hurt my transcripts.
I'm hoping if I just talk to the professor on the first day of classes I'll be able to convince them to let me just hang out in the class and listen to lectures. Anyone try anything like that before? It seems like it'd be much less of a pain and I'd really prefer this method, but I have a feeling that university red tape will make this hard to do. I hate red tape. Anyways, I know that's a ton of questions, but if anyone could give my any help with any of those questions I'd be very grateful. Thanks much, all. Happy summer! |
