Auditing Courses

Auditing gives you a chance to sit in on a PSR course of your choice. You do not receive academic credits or a grade. Each instructor determines the ways their auditors are expected to participate in the course, but auditors usually do not write papers or take examinations. Audited courses appear on PSR transcripts (except for MA students) as 0.0 units with a grade of AUD of the audit is completed successfully, or W (for withdrawal) if not.

Before applying to audit, refer to the GTU Schedule course description to determine whether auditors are allowed in the course you wish to audit.

If you are not enrolled full time in a degree or certificate program, you may audit courses for a fee considerably less than the standard fee per credit by submitting an online audit application. PSR alumni/ae may audit courses at a discounted rate by filling out an alumni/ae registration form. To apply, first you must complete an audit application from the PSR Registrar before the close of registration. You must also pay the required fee listed under Tuition and Fees before you can officially audit a course.

Current students may audit courses by registering via WebAdvisor. If you are registered full-time (at least 9 credits per semester) you may audit one course for no additional tuition or fee each semester. If you choose to audit more than one course per semester, or if you are enrolled less than full-time, you will pay an audit fee at the current audit rate. In addition to full-time matriculated students, student spouses, current field education supervisors, staff, and live-in program participants enjoy special auditing privileges. To find out more, contact the Registrar.
