Auditing

You may audit lecture courses with the consent of the instructor. Audited courses are not counted in determining full-time attendance; however, audited courses are included in determining your fees. The fees for "audit only" are 30% of the regular credit rate for Wisconsin and Minnesota residents, and 50% of the non-resident rate for non-residents. Students taking a combination of credit and audit courses will be charged the full per credit rate. (Audit fees shall be removed for all disabled Wisconsin residents who are receiving federal old age survivors and disability insurance benefits (OASDI) under 42 USC 401 to 433.)
