Enrollment Changes Audit-to-Credit and Credit-to-Audit
Auditing a Course
If you want to participate in a class and its activities but do not want to receive credit or necessarily take tests or prepare assignments, you may enroll as an auditor. Fees for auditing classes are the same as for taking classes for credit.
Note to Veterans: The VA does not provide funding for audited classes.
Changing from Credit to Audit Status
To change to audit status in a full semester long course, print, complete, and have the instructor sign an Audit Form. and return it to the Admissions and Records office or to your local center by the Monday of the tenth week of instruction for full semester courses. For other courses, the Audit/Credit change must occur before 60% of the course is over.
For short-term courses of less than a semester, the intention to audit can be declared only at the time of registration.
Changing from Audit to Credit Status
If you've registered to audit a course and have decided to take the course for credit, you can make the change in person at your nearest GBC Center or the Admissions and Records Office in Berg Hall on the Elko campus by the end of the thirteenth week of the semester.
