At ALHOSN University, a student is not considered to be officially enrolled until the end of the last
date of enrollment. This allows more freedom for class drops or University withdrawals, as they are
not permanently recorded before these census dates.
Lecture may be audited without credit in accordance with the audit fee schedule and the consent of the
instructor. Audited courses will not be included in determining maximum credit hours in course
registration. Courses such as laboratory or studio work, requiring the active participation of the
student, may be audited, but will be charged at the same fee rate as regular credit-hour courses. These
courses will be considered in determining the maximum credit hours in course registration. The
requirements for auditing a course are established by the instructor. An instructor may request the
Admissions and Registration Office to drop a student from a course if the student is not fulfilling the
audit requirements of a course.
