Audit Policy

Graduate non-matriculated students are able to audit a graduate-level course at Kean University under the following stipulations and procedures:

The student must meet all requirements to enroll as a graduate non-matriculated student
The student must seek written approval from the instructor of the course the student is requesting to audit
The student can only register during the add/drop period, as prescribed by the Academic Calendar and only on a space-available basis
The student will be charged all applicable graduate fees, excluding the student leadership fee. No tuition is charged for students registering as an auditing student. This policy would be consistent with the Senior Citizen Discount policy: https://www.kean.edu/offices/registrars-office/non-matriculated-students
Once a student registers as an auditing student, they may not change to a graded section or a credit-granted section
The student's record will show a grade of "AU" for the course if the instructor’s evaluation indicates the student has met any and all prescribed conditions, including required attendance
Students who are registered in a non-audit status are not permitted to change to an audit status at any point passed the last day of the add/drop period
Students auditing a course are not eligible for financial aid, scholarships, tuition remission, unemployment tuition waiver, graduate assistantships, or any other program where University, Foundation, or Federal Financial Aid funds will be applied to the student’s financial account
Registration for this population will be initiated through the Office of the Registrar.
