SPECIAL AUDIT APPLICATION FORM
Am I eligible for Special Audit?
Special Audit is designed for non-SFU members of the public who wish to take undergraduate courses for personal
or professional interest (not for credit). If you are a current or former SFU credit student interested in auditing a
course, you must enroll in regular Audit, as per the Course Audit section of the SFU Calendar (www.sfu.ca/calendar).
Please refer to the Registrar and Information Services office for further details on how to audit courses as an SFU
student.
Note: Not all university courses are available for Special Audit. Instructors should be contacted during the first week of
classes to determine whether their course is available to Special Audit students. Instructors may limit the number of
Special Audit students they are willing to accept. Business Administration, Computing Science, Education, non-
credit and CODE (distance/online) courses cannot be taken on a Special Audit basis.
How to Become a Special Audit Student
1. Attend the first week of classes to introduce yourself to
the instructor and request permission to Special Audit
the class. Instructors cannot grant approval until the
second week of class as credit students have seat
priority.
2. During the second week of classes, present your
completed “Special Audit Application Form” to the
instructor for their signature.
3. Once the form has been signed by the Instructor, pay
the appropriate registration fees. The registrar and
Information Services desk will send a copy of your
receipt and completed form to icsinfo@sfu.ca
4. If your instructor uses CANVAS to administer course
materials, you will receive your account access
information after we receive your receipt and completed
