To audit a course, registered students and individuals not enrolled at the College must obtain an audit application form, which is available on the Registrar’s website and at the Admissions Office. Permission from the course instructor is required via direct email or a written signature. Audited courses are not awarded academic credit, and will not appear on a student’s transcript.
An auditing student who intends to earn Gettysburg College credit for the course must declare that intention during the drop/add period, which occurs during the first ten class days of each semester. At such time, the student is no longer an “auditing student” and must submit their High School and College transcripts.
