If you are a senior citizen (over 60) you may register at no cost (excluding lab fees) for lecture courses for no credit (audit). Registration is based on space availability and online courses are not included. Registration must be completed in person at the Registrar's Office. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Registrar's Office at 970-351-2231.

Audit

You can register to audit a class at the Registrar's Office before the drop deadline of the course. Tuition and fees are charged for audited courses. You do not need to complete assignments or exams, but you are expected to attend classes. If you don’t attend class, you may be removed from the roster. If you successfully complete the class, you will be given a grade of "NC" (no credit). For more information contact the Registrar's Office at 970-351-2231.

UNC and AIMS Community College Cooperative Registration Agreement

If you are enrolled for 12 on-campus credits and paying full-time tuition to UNC or Aims Community College, you are eligible to take one undergraduate class (maximum 5 credits) at the other school during the corresponding term without additional tuition charges.

The free course at the host school must not be offered at your home school during that same term you are taking the class.

Please refer to the Colorado Transfer Guide to determine which courses will transfer between Aims and UNC. Equivalent course titles between institutions are listed on the course equivalency guide available at the UNC Admissions Office or Aims Admissions Office. Remember:

• You must meet prerequisite requirements and must pay any course fees other than tuition.
• Continuing Education courses do not count in the 12 credit full-time requirement.
• Continuing Education courses cannot be taken as the free class.
• Aims students register for UNC courses on the first class day at the UNC Registrar's Office 3002 Carter Hall.
• UNC students register for Aims course via normal procedures outlined in the Aims Schedule of Classes; however, in place of payment, the UNC student completes a certifying form at the Aims Cashier’s Office.
• At the end of the term, students found to be ineligible will be billed for and must pay tuition charges to the host school.

Graduate Exchange Program- with CU/CSU/School of Mines

The state has authorized graduate students to take one course per term at another state-supported institution without charge. Participating institutions include Colorado State University, University of Colorado and Colorado School of Mines.

Registration Criteria:

• You must be full time (9 credits) at UNC and in a Graduate degree program.
• Continuing Education, on-line courses and distance delivered courses are not eligible as exchange agreement courses and are not considered as part of the full-time enrollment status criteria.
• The exchange class cannot be offered at UNC or scheduled in such a way that the student can enroll in the class.
• Registration information and applications can be obtained at the UNC Registrar's Office 3002 Carter Hall.
• Both a representative of the Graduate School and your advisor need to sign the form giving approval for the course. This form must be completed and before the registration period for the class begins.

Once the exchange has been approved, the Registrar's Office will send the form to the "host" institution. Registration processes at host institutions vary so please check with the host institution’s Registrar's Office for more information on how to register. You are responsible for registering for the course.

Your grade is sent back to UNC by the host institution on the Exchange Agreement form and then recorded on your UNC transcript. We recommend that you remind the instructor to submit the Exchange Form with the grade to the host Registrar's Office after the course is completed.

For specific information on the Exchange Program, contact Vicki Haywood at 970-351-2231.
