Can you audit a course and then take it for credit?

Yes, you can often audit a course and then take it for credit later, but it depends on your university's specific policies; some schools allow it with instructor approval and a later re-enrollment, while others (especially for undergraduates) prohibit taking the exact same course for credit after auditing, requiring you to retake it in a future semester or choose a different elective.
