Special Non-Degree Registration Options

  • Concurrent Enrollment

    Students who are currently in the 9th through 12th grade, may qualify to enroll in college courses during the Fall and Spring semesters under the Concurrent Enrollment Program.

    Please check with your high school counselor for more information.

    Students who are home schooled or would like to take a class during the Summer semester will need to contact the Office of the Registrar at 970-351-4862.

  • Auditing

    When students audit a course, there is no need to complete assignments or exams, but students are expected to attend class. If students don’t attend class they may be removed from the roster. If students successfully complete the class, they will be given a grade of "NC" (no credit). Tuition and fees are charged for audited courses and the course is not eligible for the COF stipend. Current students registered for an audit course should contact the Registrar's Office to change their registration status to an audit. Students may not change the status for any course, including audit courses, after the add deadline for a given term. For visiting students, please contact the Registrar's Office at 970-351-4862.

    If you are age 65 or older and wish to audit a course, you may do so with no tuition charge (course fees may apply). 

    Registration may occur beginning the first Monday following the last day of pre-registration for UNC students. Registration is subject to space availability. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Registrar's Office at 970-351-4862.

  • Senior Citizen

    If you are a senior citizen (65 and above) and wish to take a course for credit, normal tuition and fees apply.

    If you are a senior citizen and wish to audit a course, you may do so with no tuition charge (course fees may apply). Registration is subject to space availability and must be completed in person at the Office of the Registrar.

    Seniors will be allowed to register the Monday following the last day of pre-registration for UNC students.
