What happens if you audit a class?

If you audit a class, you take it for no credit, and do not have to do the assignments or take tests.

Can you fail an audited class?

In many schools, auditing a class will result in a grade that can either be pass or fail, useful when you feel unsure of taking an especially difficult course. Unfortunately, the pass/fail system can be a missed opportunity if your grade in the course is high or a red flag if too many courses are taken pass/fail.
