Course Audits
A student may elect to audit a course or courses by completing the appropriate form in Student Services. Those auditing receive no credit and do not have to take any examinations; otherwise, participation and eligibility in class are on the same basis as a credit student. An audit does not meet course co/pre-requisite requirements and no grade or certificate of completion will be awarded. Tuition and fees for auditing are the same as tuition and fees for credit. Other course fees also apply. With proper notification to Student Services and to the appropriate instructor, a student may change from credit to audit until the 75% point of the term in which the student is enrolled in the course. Students may change from audit to credit classification for an enrolled course during the add period only. Financial Aid and Veterans benefits do not pay for audited courses.
Senior citizens, defined by GS 115B-2.2 as individuals at least 65 years of age as of the first day of the applicable course, may enroll and audit a course without payment of any required tuition or registration fee; however, payment is required for any applicable local fees (student activity fee, technology fee, etc.). Senior citizens are required to provide proof of age through a driver's license, State identification card, or other government-issued document. A senior citizen who enrolls and audits a course shall not displace other students seeking enrollment in the course. Additionally, no grade, academic credit, or certificate of completion will be awarded. Self-support courses and courses with clinical components do not qualify for senior citizens waivers or audits. A senior citizen who enrolls in a course for academic credit and changes from credit to audit will not be refunded tuition. Interested students should contact Student Services for more information on auditing a course.
