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

Is this a question out of mere curiosity, or do you want to try this?

If you really want to do this, then I recommend contacting the university ROTC battalion and asking them about the specifics. I am not sure that auditing is even allowed at all campuses. Definitely allowed at some, though.

Still, my understanding is that the basic difference is that the auditing student simply attends class, but does not wear a uniform. Only enrolled cadets wear uniforms. The auditing student might be allowed to participate in PT, but again could vary from university to university.
