Auditing Courses
Auditing courses are available to non-student, part-time or full-time students. Auditors that are *non-students or are enrolled in a part-time status pay 50% of regular tuition for lecture courses and any associated course fees; however, full tuition is charged for limited enrollment, private instruction and studio courses.
*Audit courses follow the Last day for 100% Refund for any Undergraduate and Graduate courses. Deadlines may be found in the Main Campus Schedule of Classes (See Academic Calendar) or from the respective program administrator (i.e., School of Professional Studies).
Full-time students may audit one lecture course (3-4 hours) per session (fall, spring, summer) at no cost. Any course fees associated with this enrollment will be the responsibility of the student.
Students are allowed to combine their total number of hours within a semester to determine their full-time status. Undergraduates on the Main Campus are considered full-time with 12+ enrolled hours, a Graduate and Doctoral student on the Main Campus is considered a full-time status at 6+ hours. If a full-time student falls under banded tuition and, with the audit class, does not exceed a total of 18 hours, no discount will be granted.
*Students enrolled through the School of Professional Studies will be allowed to audit courses within that program. Audit discounts are not applicable to School of Professional Studies courses.
Incarnate Word Retirement Center residents may attend one course without charge per semester. Grades for this enrollment will not be recorded.
The deadline for changing enrollment in a course from graded to audit status is printed in the Academic Calendar located in the University Course Schedule.
