Adding Classes

Registration Methods

O: Class may be added online using MyMAP through the add deadline.
S: Add/drop card with department or faculty signature is always required.
F: Class may be added online using MyMAP until the first day of class. A signed add/drop card must be used from the first day of class until the add deadline.

Adding Classes Using an Add/Drop Card

Add drop cards may be picked up at the Registration Office (B-130 ASB) or at OneStop during the first two weeks of fall and winter semesters. Fill out the card completely using blue or black ink as shown below. The card must be signed by the instructor or by a department employee who is authorized to sign for the instructor. You may drop up to two classes and add up to three on the same card. Section and registration numbers can be found on the class schedule.

Bring completed cards to the Registration Office at B-130 ASB except during the first two weeks of fall and winter semesters when Registration is located only at OneStop in the Wilkinson Student Center.


Auditing Classes

Definition of an Audit

To audit a class means to register for a class without receiving credit. The same tuition applies to audit classes as classes for credit. Classes taken for audit will not appear on a student’s official record, will not be considered in calculating enrollment verifications, and do not fulfill the minimum registration requirements. However, audits do count in the maximum credit hours allowed per semester/term. Verification of a class taken for audit is not possible. Students must be officially enrolled either for credit or audit to be eligible to attend class.

Registering for an Audit Class

Students desiring to audit classes can only do so on an add/drop card during the first ten days of a semester or six days of a term. Students must obtain the instructor’s signature on an add/drop card and must also mark an “X” in the audit box. The student should then bring the add/drop card to the Registration Office (B-130 ASB) during spring and summer terms or to One Stop during fall and winter semesters to add class to his/her schedule. See the "Adding Classes Using an Add/Drop Card" section on this page for more information on using add/drop cards. Students registered for credit who wish to change to audit must drop the class for credit and add it for audit.  It is not possible to register for an audit class through the Web registration system.

Audit for Full-time Employees/Spouses

All full-time personnel and their eligible spouses who desire to audit either daytime or evening classes should go to the Evening School Office, 120 HCEB for auditing procedures.

Audit Only Students

Students admitted to Evening School who want to audit day classes must contact the Evening School Office, 120 HCEB, (801) 422-2872, for an Application for “Audit Only” Students Auditing Day Classes form. No application fee is required but students will be charged the same tuition costs as if they were taking the class for credit. Approval to audit is done one semester at a time. The application form must be completed every semester or term a student plans to attend. Audit only students are required to wait until the first day of class to pick up the “audit only” add/drop card from the Evening School Office, 120 HCEB.

Senior Citizens

Persons 55 or older may register for evening classes for $10 per class.  No more than two courses may be taken per semester at the discounted senior citizen rate.  All classes must be taken for audit only.

Dropping Classes Before the Add/Drop Deadline

  2. Select the School tab and click the MyMAP link or type MyMAP in the Quick URL box and click the orange arrow box.
  3. Click the Register tab.
  4. Find the semester/term for which you wish to drop classes.

  6. A window will pop up asking you to confirm that you want to drop that class. Click OK to drop the class.

Classes may also be dropped using an add/drop card.

See the "Adding Classes Using an Add/Drop Card" section on this page for more information on using add/drop cards.

Withdrawing From Classes Between the Add/Drop Deadline and the Withdraw Deadline

Students may withdraw from classes until the withdraw deadline. When withdrawing from a class, a $10 fee will be charged and a "W" will be posted to the student's transcript.

Generally, W's do not affect a student unless the student has a number of them and is applying to graduate school. The graduate school may wonder why the student repeatedly signs up for courses and then drops them after the deadline.

  1. Log into Route Y using your Net ID and password or click here to enter MyMAP directly and skip to step 3. If you have forgotten your Net ID or password, click here.
  2. Select the School tab and click the MyMAP link or type MyMAP in the Quick URL box and click the orange arrow box.
