Academic Calendar 2006
(Old Programs)

With the permission of the Dean, a student may register in extra courses without degree credit in the following ways:

Such registration is subject to all the rules and regulations that apply to courses taken for credit toward a degree except that the number/letter grade reported to the Registrar shall be recorded by the Registrar as either pass (P) or fail (F). No courses may be changed from pass/fail to number/letter graded or from number/letter graded to pass/fail after the last date for dropping a course.

Such registration entitles the student to attend classes but does not entitle the student to have assignments evaluated or otherwise make demands on the course instructor. A grade of audit, which implies no credit, shall be recorded by the Registrar on the recommendation of the course instructor. No course may be changed from audit to number/letter graded or pass/fail graded after the last date for adding a course, or from number/letter graded or pass/fail to audit after the last date for dropping a course.

Note: Students who register as Audit shall be so designated on the class lists prepared by the Registrar, but no distinction shall be made between students registered for credit, either as number/letter graded or pass/fail.

A student who wishes to sit in on a class in a degree-credit course for interest only, may do so with written permission. For on-campus courses, a non-credit registration form is available from Continuing Studies at Western. The form must be signed by the course instructor or appropriate Department.

Non-credit registrants do not require admission to the University; no records are kept; and no credit will be granted. There is a fee incurred.
