What is the difference between an auditing ROTC Student and a participating ROTC student?

From my experience in Army ROTC, if you are actually “enrolled” in the Military Science class, but not a “contracted” cadet, you are usually permitted to do most everything within the ROTC program that you desire. If you want to attend PT, you can. If you want to attend “lab” you usually can and they will normally issue you a uniform to wear. For contracted ROTC cadet, these things are mandatory, but for those you are simply taking ROTC and exploring it as a option, the cadre normally encourage your participation. This can also be a way for a highly motivated student to earn an on-campus ROTC scholarship.
