Auditing Pikes Peak State College Classes

Pikes Peak students may choose to audit classes on a space-available basis if they meet the prerequisite for the course*. By auditing a course, a student may participate in course activities, but will not receive a formal grade, will not complete course assignments or exams, and will not receive academic credit.

Audited courses will not meet the credit hour requirements for financial aid or veteran benefits and are not applied towards degree or certificate completion. Audited courses are not eligible for the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend.

All audit enrollment is done on a space available basis only. There is no guarantee that you will be able to take the class.

*Some academic programs are excluded from auditing. The following is a non-exhaustive list of programs that are not eligible for auditing: selective admissions programs (ex. nursing, emergency services administration, physical therapist assistant, etc.), courses with instructor permission requirements (ex. welding, private music lessons, etc.), courses with significant material fees (ex. Culinary arts, automotive, etc.), and lab courses (biology, chemistry, etc.). View the full list of courses that are not eligible for audit.

Cost of Auditing

Regular audit: Students pay the full in-state or out-of-state tuition and fee cost for the course in accordance with current college tuition and fees. The course is not eligible for the COF stipend.
Veteran audit program: A veteran or Colorado National Guard student may audit one class per semester with the tuition paid for by Pikes Peak State College scholarship while funding is available. Regular tuition and fees are charged for any classes above the one audit class per semester.
