Auditing a Course

Auditing a course (registering for a course for no credit, with no assignments or exams required) requires payment of full tuition and any fees. To audit a course write V in the grading basis column on your registration form, or select the AUD option from the drop- down menu online. Get approval from the instructor before auditing. Audited courses cannot be used toward degrees or certificates.

Senior Citizen Education Option

If you are 62 or older and a Minnesota resident, you are eligible for the Senior Citizen Education Program (SCEP). You are also eligible if you are 60 years old and receiving a railroad retirement annuity. At your initial registration for classes, you will need to provide verification of your age, Minnesota residency, and (if applicable) railroad retirement annuity. If you are eligible for SCEP, you may audit courses free of charge or take courses for college credit at $10 per credit.

The IDL fees and any other special fees must be paid in full, however these students are exempt from the Student Services fee.  Students registering under this options must provide verification of age (e.g. MN driver's license). For more information, call the Onestop Student Services Center, 612-624-1111.
