Audit students are students who attend Laurier classes without receiving academic credit. This is also referred to as auditing a course. You must receive permission from the course instructor before you can audit a course. As an audit student, you won’t write midterm or final exams and your class participation will be determined by the course instructor.
If you have never attended Laurier, you will need to apply as a part-time student and receive an offer of admission. An application is required of all applicants who want to attend Laurier as an audit student, including mature students and senior citizens.
Note: If you are a current Laurier student or have attended Laurier in the past and would like to audit a course, review the steps for auditing courses as a Laurier student.
If you still have questions about attending Laurier as an audit student, contact us at Service Laurier.
