The\nstudent can access course content, but cannot participate in any class\nactivities or assessment, and does not have a record in the grade centre.&nbsp; If you are an online student this is the\nonly way you can audit a course.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Class Only Enrolment<\/strong>:\nA student is enrolled as \u201cClass Only\u201d in EUCLID. The course will appear on the\nfinal transcript but does not incur any course credits. Since \u201cClass Only\u201d\ncourses appear on the student\u2019s official record, the expectation is that\nstudents engage with the course as if it were being taken for credit. On\nenrolment, a student will be advised of this. Once enrolled in EUCLID, students\nwill automatically be added to the relevant Learn site \u2013 again as \u201cClass Only\u201d,\nmeaning they do not have a record in the grade centre.&nbsp; Enrolment on EUCLID is not available to\nonline students.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Auditing is at the discretion of the\nCourse Organiser \u2013 some courses might not accept auditing students, for\nexample, if the course is already full, or if the course structure means\nauditing is inappropriate. The student must also meet any academic\nprerequisites for the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of Class Only Enrolment,\nsome Course Organisers may only allow auditing students to attend lectures,\nwhile others may expect them to play a full role in seminar discussions. It is\neach student\u2019s own responsibility to contact course organisers before signing\nup for their course to clarify whether auditing it is possible and under what\ncircumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Approval<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the Course Organiser has confirmed\nthat they are willing to take auditing students, students must also obtain\napproval from their Programme Director if they want to be enrolled as \u201cClass\nOnly\u201d in EUCLID. Approval might take into account the overall load (credit and\nnon-credit bearing) on the student in the year, and the student\u2019s current\nperformance. Students needs to be aware that any subsequent time management\nissues due to course auditing is not ground for coursework extensions or Special\nCircumstances. Students are not typically permitted to audit more than one\ncourse in any semester, and no more than 60 credits in any one year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A request to audit a course may be\nwithdrawn if that place is needed by a student taking the course for credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enrolment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once approvals have been granted, Class\nOnly Enrolment should be processed by the Student Administration and Support\nService. This ensures that support staff are aware of the additional students,\nand the circumstances under which they have been approved. Students wanting to\nenrol in courses outside ECA should be directed to the relevant Course\nSecretary. Course Organisers can manually grant Read-Only students access in\nLearn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Attendance\nand Engagement<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engagement\nwill not be monitored for Read-Only students. Students who have been enrolled\nin EUCLID as \u201cClass Only\u201d will automatically be included on attendance\nregisters. If students are not in attendance at a particular teaching activity\n(or if they are permitted to attend lectures only) tutors should mark them as\nEXEMPT. Students who are in attendance should be marked as YES. Students will\nnot necessarily be escalated due to non-attendance in a course they are\nauditing, unless their lack of engagement compounds upon other attendance concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As per the Postgraduate Degree Regulations, students can be permitted to attend courses on a class-only basis (i.e. not for credit) without being formally assessed for their performance.
