Editor: Sorry to have taken so long to get around to processing this.

It seems that this word is closer to "sit in on a class".

Here is one explanation of the difference (audit / sit in):
"When you audit a class, you are officially signed up for that class and receive a transcript marked "AU." When you sit in on a class, you are not registered in any official capacity. [...] Many colleges charge tuition for an audited class, often at the regular for-credit rate. Thus, the main advantage of sitting in is avoiding that fee, which is why many universities have specific policies that prohibit sitting in on classes."

Usage such as your quotes, and also the following quotes, suggests that when people "ceng-ke", they are often not paying fees.
a) 如果你想要混进常春藤大学里蹭课而不被发现,那么就从人多的大课 ...
b) 如何在一所陌生的大学蹭课?
被人问起: 同学问你。你一脸羞愧回答重修的。。。
