Auditing Issues & Privileges

IF YOU CANNOT SECURE THE SIGNATURE OF THE INSTRUCTOR: Sometimes you may encounter difficulty in securing the signature of the course instructor prior to the beginning of semester classes. If you are having this difficulty, contact the Academic Studies Office at (919) 684-2621 (e-mail: learn@duke.edu), or Ms. Kim Price at (919) 684-5375 (kprice@duke.edu) BEFORE classes begin. You still must submit the Personal Information Form (see Registration Information), in person or by fax, before 10:00 a.m. of the last working day before classes begin, in order for us to be able to request a waiver of the late registration fee. Along with the Personal Information Form, please include a brief cover note giving us your course information and explaining why you have been unable to secure the instructor's permission. (After you have submitted this information to us, you should continue to make efforts to obtain the instructor's permission, even after the first day of classes, as you will not be officially registered in the class until after we have received the signed permission form from the instructor.)

CANCELLING YOUR AUDIT REGISTRATION
If you have a change of plans or if decide you do not wish to audit, please contact us as soon as possible.  If you contact us before the end of drop/add (that is, before September 7 for the fall 2007 semester, or before January 23 for the spring 2008 semester), we can work with the Registrar’s Office to cancel your audit registration.  If your registration is cancelled before the end of drop/add, you will not have any financial obligation.  After drop/add ends, however, your registration cannot be cancelled and there is no refund of tuition.

PRIVILEGES ASSOCIATED WITH AUDITING DURING THE FALL OR SPRING SEMESTERS.
You are eligible to receive a DukeCard (the Duke University official identification).  The DukeCard permits you to check out books at the libraries and is also used to gain admission to academic buildings at night and over the weekend.  To have your DukeCard made, please go to the DukeCard Office, Room 100 West Union (West Campus).

You are also eligible to receive a university email account.  To set up your account and/or to obtain your initial password, you should go to the Help Desk for OIT (Office of Information Technology).
