<p>Well, I'm going to be an incoming freshman and I'm sure the title makes it clear what the subject of this post will be. I really enjoy math and physics and during the summer I spent some time self-studying MV Calc and LA, so I have a basic understanding of both. Now I know I can't test out of those classes and I'm fine with that, however I was wondering if I would be able to sit in other math classes and see what there is to look forward/learn some of the material beforehand. I spent some time online trying to find information about auditing classes and I came under the impression that you have to fill out forms, pay fees, ask the professor, etc., yet I couldn't find specific information for UCR. Could you guys explain the process for auditing a class and just any information surrounding it so I can determine whether this would be a good option for me?</p>
<p>audit class = just sit there and listen right?</p>
<p>if so, just go to the class, sit, and listen. most professors don’t even know their students… unless it’s a really small class or something. lol</p>
<p>if it’s something else, do explain. i have never heard of it before o.o</p>

<p>If you’re trying to check out the classes beforehand and learn some of the material just go crash the lectures and save yourself money.</p>
<p>You can easily get away with attending all of the lectures without anyone saying a word. Just don’t go on exam days and don’t go to discussions.</p>
<p>What if the class if less than 30 people? I looked through the forums and it seems like professor’s consent will suffice at the other UCs.</p>
