Repeat a Course
Second Attempt
Students are allowed to take a class twice, including courses in which they receive a withdrawal (W). All grades appear on the student's transcript, but only the higher grade will be included in the grade point average.
Third Attempt
Students are required to submit at Seeking Course Enrollment - Third Attempt form. After the request is submitted, you will be contacted via your WCTC email to schedule an appointment.
Audit a Course
By auditing, you can take a class at WCTC without earning a grade or credit for the course. You may choose to audit a course to develop certain skills or explore a personal interest.
About Auditing a Course
To audit a course, an agreement is made between the student and the instructor. Only credit courses may be audited. Tuition and fees are assessed, and audited courses may affect financial aid.
If you audit a course, you will receive an "AU" as a final grade on your student record. This does not count toward a degree or diploma, and you do not receive credit for the class. Audit students who wish to withdraw or drop from a course must submit a Drop/Withdrawal form.
Students may elect to change from credit to audit if they adhere to the following guidelines:
- A course may be audited, with instructor consent, during the first 50 percent of the semester.
- After the first 50 percent of the course, students may audit if they are passing the course.
- Students must adhere to WCTC’s drop and withdrawal policies.
- Audit students who wish to withdraw or drop from a course must submit a Drop/Withdrawal form.
- Students must adhere to all rules and regulations regarding attendance.
- Audit students may not change to credit status at a later date.
Senior Audit
WCTC permits a person 60 years of age or older to audit a course, with the exception of community-based service classes (600-level courses) and apprenticeship courses. Tuition for audit classes will be waived; however, the individual is responsible for course-related fees. The decision to audit must be made at the time of registration. No credit is granted for audited courses.
Senior audit requirements include:
- The student must be a Wisconsin resident.
- WCTC reserves the right to exclude specific courses and suspend the audit option for courses due to demand.
- All course prerequisites and other-related course requirements apply.
- Students may contact Registration two days, or less, from the start of class to request the option.
- Registration will contact the appropriate associate dean for a final decision.
- Audit students may not, at a later date, change to credit status.
- Change from full pay to senior audit will not be honored at a later date.
