Upon obtaining permission from the instructor
of the course and subject to the availability of space in the course, full-time
students may audit a course without registration. No academic credit is earned in this manner,
and the audited course does not appear on the student's transcript. Students are expected to attend and complete
all work for the course, but are not required to take the final exam. The
student does not earn a grade for the course. Online courses and courses open only to restricted populations may not
be audited. The course does not count
toward the total credits for the semester (for purposes of full-time status,
overloads, or financial aid). Students
are not charged independently for the course, but may be required to pay any
individual course, lab, or materials fees.
Senior citizens over the age of 65 who are
residents of N.J. may also audit courses free of charge (excluding any individual
course, lab, or materials fees which may still be charged) without being a
formal student of the university. Senior citizens still must acquire the
permission of the instructor and there must be space available in the
course. No credit is earned for a senior
audit, and the course does not appear on any transcript. Online courses and
courses open only to restricted populations are not eligible for senior audit.
Senior citizens doing a course audit need to submit a registration form to the
Office of the Registrar.
