Auditing Acadia University Courses
As part of our efforts to foster lifelong learning, ALL members are eligible to audit select undergraduate credit courses during the academic year. Please note this Course Auditing option is available to ALL Members only.
What does it mean to audit a course?
Not all students want to study for credit. Some want to attend a course simply for interest. Auditing a course means that you are formally registered in a course and are permitted to attend lectures but are not required to submit coursework or write final exams.
How is auditing different from taking a course?
Auditing a course is not the same as enrolling in a course. You will not be graded or tasked with writing tests or assignments. You will also not earn academic credit for the course.
What courses are eligible to be audited?
Prior to the start of the fall and winter semesters, a list of undergraduate courses open to ALL auditors will be circulated to members along with a simple online request form with a payment request for Moodle access. Open Acadia staff will confirm your auditing request and provide details on class location by email.
The list of courses available to audit will include courses that are:
- Lecture based
- No labs
- Wolfville main campus only
- No waitlist
NEW! We are pleased to announce our partnership with Acadia Divinity College! In addition to the regular undergraduate course list, ALL members are now eligible to audit courses offered by the Divinity College starting in the winter 2027 term. If you are interested in auditing a Divinity course, please see the registration instructions below.
Fees
Acadia undergraduate courses are hosted on Acadia's learning management system, Moodle. To enable ALL members to gain access to course materials and instructor communications on Moodle, a fee of $50 will be charged prior to registration.
When should I apply to audit a course?
We begin accepting applications to audit about 6 weeks prior to the start of classes. For the winter 2027 term, please submit audit requests by December 18. The first day of classes is January 11.
To view the courses available for ALL auditing in the winter 2027 term, please see the registration instructions below.
