NOTE: Most of the courses in the following areas may not be audited: Accounting, Art, English writing courses, Information Systems, Journalism, Language, Mathematics, Performance Studies, Physics, Statistics and Theatre. Some other individual courses also may not be audited. See course listings for details.

A self-scoring mathematics test is advised for students enrolling in MATH 101, 113, or 220. See related courses: STAT 202 Introduction to Statistics, PSYCH 201 Statistical Methods in Psychology, and POLI SCI 312 Statistical Research Methods. Mathematics courses carry science credit; they may not be audited.
