UBC has switched to a new student system called Workday for the 2024/25 academic year starting September. Please check your email for setup instructions.
If you’re registered in Summer Session courses, keep using the Student Service Centre (SSC) for the Summer Session.
For 2024/25 Winter Session course registration, use the new Workday system. Follow online tutorials for how to use Workday.
Auditing means taking a course without seeking a grade or credit for the course. Students usually audit courses for self-interest and academic exploration.
When you audit a course, your participation in courses is set by the course instructor. In general, if you're auditing a course, you'll be expected to complete all course requirements except the final exam, and your transcript will show a statement of audit for the course.
If you choose to audit a course, you will still be assessed regular tuition and mandatory student fees. Read more about auditing courses in the Academic Calendar.
The following instructions are for undergraduate students. Graduate students should refer to their program website for information.
Download the Registration or Change of Registration (Add/Drop) Form (pdf). You can also pick up a paper copy from your faculty advising office or the Enrolment Services Advising Centre in Brock Hall.
Fill out the "Course Section Add" section of the form and check off "Audit" in the left-hand column.
Ask your course instructor to sign the form.
Follow the form instructions to submit it to the appropriate office.
Submit your form by the add/drop deadline to update your status to “Auditing".
