Auditing Courses
Undergraduates
There is no formal audit status for undergraduates, undergraduates wishing to audit a class informally may contact the instructor directly to obtain permission to attend the class.
Graduate Students in Full-time Degree Programs
All full-time graduate and graduate professional studies students, who are enrolled full-time, are eligible to officially audit Brandeis and Brandeis Online courses without a fee.
Graduate Students in Non-degree or Part-time Degree Programs
Part-time degree students and all non-degree special students may officially audit courses but will be charged the same rate as a course taken for credit
Permission to audit a course in all cases is at the discretion of the instructor, who may impose requirements for auditors such as regular attendance and course readings. In general, auditors do not participate in group work, examinations or writing assignments. In all cases auditors must reach an agreement with the instructor as to the level and type of participation the auditor will have in the class.
No courses may be audited without the permission of the instructor and the graduate student's program chair.
No credit is given for an audited course.
Course registration as an auditor is accomplished through a course change form (add/drop) and obtaining the requisite signatures.
