Flinders offers members of the community the opportunity to audit various university topics.
What is auditing a topic?
Auditing means that a person can attend lectures for a topic offered as part of a course for general interest (ie. not for the purpose of completing the requirements of the course). An auditing fee applies.
Please note that auditing a topic does not allow you to submit assessments, attend tutorials, attend laboratory classes or use computing facilities including Flinders Learning Online (FLO).
Can I use the Library?
If you would like to borrow books from the library while auditing a topic you can do so for an additional fee of $55.00 (inc GST).

Restrictions
