Auditors
The course department will determine the audit policy for each class. Please be aware that, in some cases, permission to audit a class will not be granted (see notes below).
Any student enrolling in all classes as an auditor (i.e., not taking any classes for credit) can process an audit-only registration on or after the first day of classes. The student can download an audit only registration authorization memo for each course department that must be signed before reporting to the Office of the Registrar, Franklin Hall 100 during the first week of classes. NOTE: After the first week of classes, a late registration fee will be assessed.
Access the memo here: Memorandum for Course Audit 
Any student enrolling in one or more classes for credit and wishing to enroll for a additional course an auditor can process the request on or after the day of their initial registration for the term. The student can download an audit add authorization memo for each course department that must be signed before reporting to the Office of the Registrar, Franklin Hall 100. Access the memo here: Memorandum for Course Audit – Enrolled Students
NOTE: Classes taken for no credit (audit) are not counted as completed academic credit but are reflected on the student's grade report and the official permanent academic record with a grade of NC (no credit). Audit classes are also excluded from consideration for official IU certification purposes.
NOTE: Kelley School of Business undergraduate classes are not available for audit enrollment.
Independent Study Program/Distance Education
With permission from their dean, IU degree-seeking students have the option of taking distance education classes through the Independent Study Program. For further information about available classes, students may consult the School of Continuing Studies web site scs.indiana.edu.
Enrollment Procedure
Students should obtain an enrollment form from the School of Continuing Studies Web site at http://scs.indiana.edu/resources/forms.shtml. The form must be signed by the dean of the student's school.
NOTE: Independent Study courses will not be considered for eligibility for full-time or half-time status when an official IU certification is requested.
Special Information for Doctoral Students
Students who have completed all requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation and final examination are required to register for at least one hour of graduate credit each first and second semester at the applicable resident or non-resident rate.
Students who enroll in one hour of thesis credit will be considered full-time students for certification purposes by the Office of the Registrar.
In addition, students who plan to complete the degree requirements during a summer session must enroll for that session in at least one hour of graduate credit. Students should contact their schools or divisions for specific details.
Student Teacher Registration
Student teaching assignments are made by the Office of Student Teaching in the School of Education. Because students who participate in student teaching receive academic credit, it is necessary to register for this program as a student would for any other class.
Some student teaching and practicum classes may require permission/authorization. Contact Education Student Services (856-8500) for additional information.
