Auditing a Class

The privilege of attending class as an auditor (visitor) is granted on or after the first day of instruction and only by the instructor of the class with the approval of the dean of the college concerned. Visitor Permit forms may be obtained from the Office of Registration and Records on the first day of instruction for a term and returned no later than the tenth day of the semester (first Wednesday of Summer Session 1 and first Friday of Summer Session 2).

Visitors are not permitted in laboratory, military science or physical education classes nor is a visitor allowed to write an examination (including a proficiency examination) for course credit or to participate in class activities.

A $15 fee is charged for the privilege of visiting/auditing a class. A full-time registered student or a person who is a permanent support staff employee of the University does not pay the visitor fee.

Please note: if you are a continuing student at UIC you should not register for any course that you would like to audit.
