Auditors
An auditor is a student who will register, pay and attend the class sessions, but not be responsible for written assignments or examinations and not receive a grade. An audited course can never be applied toward college credit or a college degree/certificate. A student registers to audit a course by submitting an approved request form to Records and Registration by the deadline published in the Schedule of Classes. An auditor may never change a course to credit status once these forms are filed.
New York State Education Law allows Rockland Community College to waive the cost of tuition for senior adults 60 years of age and older who wish to observe (audit) credit courses on a space available basis. Auditing students are responsible for lab and other fees associated with credit courses.
Senior adults do pay tuition for courses taken for credit. These include courses taken to satisfy professional requirements – to maintain credentials or to meet continued education requirements.
