Auditing University Topics

Would you like to take advantage of the learning opportunities available on campus?

Did you know that it is possible to sit in on lectures as an ‘Auditing’ student?

Recently the University extended its Study Assistance for General Staff Scheme to include Auditing of courses and topics conducted at Flinders University.

The key points are:

• general staff can apply for up to six hours of paid leave per week to attend lectures. Attendance at tutorials and practical sessions is not normal for audit students but can be negotiated with the topic coordinator. Audit students do not sit exams!
  
• any leave granted is subject to the convenience of the work unit involved and the approval of the Senior Officer of the area
  
• applications for leave must be made in advance and on the Study Assistance Form available from the Staff Development and Training Unit
  
• staff members are responsible for identifying the Topic they wish to audit and for ensuring this is acceptable to the Topic coordinator
  
• once application approved payment of $50 - $100 per topic (depending on load) will be arranged by the Staff Development and Training Unit
  
• the University Policy and Procedure Manual provides further information on Auditing of Topics. For further information please phone the Staff Development and Training Unit on ext 13180.
