Audit University Courses for a Fraction of the Cost!
Veterans and seniors (62 years and older) can audit many University classes for $25 per semester (plus any special fees). Known as House Bill 60 (HB60) and Senate Bill 45 (SB45), these programs are perfect for seniors and veterans who want to keep current in their fields or learn something new.
You must be a resident of Utah and veterans need to show proof of veteran status with either a military ID or DD214 discharge papers.

Permission Codes
Some classes require a permission code. If the class requires a prerequisite or prerequisites and you haven’t taken them previously at the U or if the class is full, you need to request a permission code. One you have your code, call us at 801-581-7155 to register.
How to get a permission code:
Email the instructor of the class directly to ask for a permission code. If you do not hear back, call the department. Some departments have an online request form for permission codes. You can find the instructor’s email in the course catalog. Click the name of the instructor and it will take you to their instructor profile with their email.
Please note: Instructors are not required to grant permission codes.
