When you audit a course
- you don't pay an application fee or show proof of prerequisites;
- pay only half the published regular tuition fees plus ancillary fees.
- you're expected to attend classes and read the assignments;
- you don't hand in course work or write exams;
- you don't receive a grade for the course, but you receive enjoyment and intellectual stimulation!

Current students
When you audit a course no grade is given so the course won't be used to calculate your GPA. You can register between the first day of class until the fee deadline for the term and only pay 50% of the published regular tuition fees plus ancillary fees.
If you've begun a course, you can change to audit during the first 66% of your semester/term/quarter with the instructor's permission. Changing from registered to audit status after the fee deadline, full tuition fees will be applied. Just submit the completed Request to Add, Audit, or Drop Course After Fee Deadline form to Enrolment Services.
Searching for courses
a few weeks prior to the term, log on to Camlink- from the main Camlink Menu page, select “Search for Sections”
- choose the desired term and add a subject (e.g. HIST). This will show you the courses we are offering, the times, days, and location.
Note: The only courses that are not available to audit are marked ‘restricted. - you'll be able to see the available seats, the capacity of the course and, if applicable, how many students are waitlisted.
- go to Camlink again just prior to class start to see which of your desired classes have either space available, or a very small waitlist.
Note: For each course you want to audit, make note of the course name and section number, dates, times, and location.
