Academic audit

An academic audit is when someone checks to make sure that a student has completed all of the required classes and credits in order to graduate from a school. Think of it like a grown-up version of your parents making sure you finished your homework before you can go play outside. During an academic audit, someone looks at all of the classes the student has taken, and makes sure they have taken the right amount of classes in each subject. They also make sure the student has passed all of their classes and earned enough credits to graduate. Once the audit is finished, the student will know if they have completed all of the requirements to graduate or if they still have some work to do.
