Amherst College Audit Request Form
Auditors must receive permission from the instructor. People wishing to audit a class should be aware of the following:
There is no record kept and no grade given for an audited class. Auditors will not appear on regular class lists and will not be
counted in the official enrollment. They will be included on class email lists if they are receiving electronic services (see below).
Auditors may elect whether or not to receive online services from the College. These services include things such as access to
e-reserves and Moodle course websites, and inclusion on the class email list.
An auditor who chooses not to receive online services only has to obtain permission from the instructor to audit a course.
Procedure for requesting online access to course materials:
Print and fill out this form—available online or at the Registrar’s Office in Converse Hall.

If you are getting a new Amherst College account as part of this request, we will email you your Amherst account information
within 48 hours.
The final decision about the appropriateness of admitting an auditor and about the character of course participation appropriate for an
auditor rests with the faculty member. Auditors are generally not permitted in over-enrolled courses. The College reserves the right to limit
the number of courses audited by any one person, to limit the total number of auditors on campus at a particular time, and to change this
policy.
