Auditing a Course

Information about auditing a course can be found in Section 3-305 of the Student Code. An auditor’s role is limited to observation. Auditors may attend class but are not permitted to participate in any course activities, including but limited to, quizzes, exams, group projects, class discussions or daily assignments.

To prioritize enrollment for students taking courses for credit, auditors will not be enrolled in their requested courses until the first day of instruction for the part of term in which the course is offered. Auditors will not have access to closed sections.

Concurrent Enrollment

University of Illinois System

Students may be eligible to enroll in courses on more than one University of Illinois campus (Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, or Springfield) during a given semester. Students who plan to enroll for courses on more than one campus at the same time must complete the Application for Concurrent Registration form.  The approval process originates in the student’s own department or college.

If the application is approved, concurrent students at Urbana are issued a time ticket to register in the course(s) they received approval for.  Credit hours on both University campuses count toward the maximum amount of hours a student may register for without special overload approval from their college.

Concurrently enrolled students are billed by their home campus for hours on both campuses.  Tuition and fees assessed by the host campus are reversed after 10th day of the term, approximately.*  

At the end of the term, the student is responsible for requesting a transcript be sent from the Chicago or Springfield campus to Urbana.  Academic credit earned at another University of Illinois campus is not automatically reflected on a student’s home campus.       

Deadlines for submitting the Application for Concurrent Registration are the preceding:

• May 15th for summer term
• August 15th for fall term
• December 15th for spring term

Additional information regarding concurrent registration may be obtained by contacting Registration Services.
