FAQs
Questions that Porterville College students often ask... and the answers.
Auditing a class
Can I just take a class for fun and not have to get credit?
Yes, this is called "auditing" a class. You enroll into the class, but you do not get a grade in the class, and you don't get credit applied to your records.
What do I need to do to audit a class?
You must already be an admitted student, have permission from the instructor to audit the class, and complete a Course Audit form at the Admissions and Records office. However, priority shall be given to students who wish to take the course for credit.
Do I still pay the same fee for the class if I am only auditing it and not getting credit?
No. The cost to audit a class is $15 per credit. If you are already enrolled in 10 or more credits you will not be charged this fee.
Does a class I audit show up on my transcripts?
No.
