How to Take Undergraduate Courses at UNT

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UNT develops its own not-for-credit courses. OLLI at UNT cannot enroll individuals in undergraduate or graduate courses being offered by UNT's academic divisions. If you wish to enroll in an undergraduate course being offered by one of UNT's academic divisions, please consider the options below.

Auditing a Class: https://catalog.unt.edu/content.php?catoid=37&navoid=4280#auditing

  • Anyone wishing to audit a class at UNT must first apply as a non-degree seeking student: https://www.unt.edu/admissions/non-degree-seeking.html
  • Auditors will receive no academic credit for their courses. They will need to contact general academic advising for assistance in enrolling in their courses once they have been admitted as a non-degree seeking student: https://vpaa.unt.edu/advising/index.html
  • Auditors will be included on the class roster for their selected courses, and will receive a grade of AU, which will appear on their academic transcript. They will not be required to submit any papers, tests, or examinations, and cannot claim credit for courses taken.
  • A person 65 years of age or older may enroll as an auditor and observer without credit and without payment of a fee, if space is available and if approved by the department chair and the appropriate dean. Such enrollment entitles the person to library privileges, but not to instruction in applied music or physical education, the use of laboratory equipment and supplies, or admission to university-sponsored fine arts events. (Texas Education Code, Subchapter 54, Section 54.210 as added in 1975)

Senior Citizen Tuition Exemption

The Office of the Registrar (940-565-2111), along with Student Accounting and University Cashiering Services (940-565-3225), are the correct entities to assist you with auditing a class or claiming a tuition exemption.
