Community Auditors

Florida residency for course auditing purposes is obtained when you have lived in the state of Florida for twelve (12) consecutive months immediately before the first day of classes. Two forms of identification, which must be dated/issued at least 12 months before the first day of classes of the semester in which enrollment is intended, are required to verify Florida residency.

Examples of acceptable proof:

• Florida driver’s license or state identification card.
• Florida rotor voter registration. 
• Florida vehicle registration.

1. Complete and submit the non-degree application.
2. If you are taking courses on campus, an Immunization and Health History form is required. Please email [email protected] or visit the Health and Wellness Services (HWS) – New College of Florida webpage. 
3. Search for courses with the student schedule search tool.
4. Email the Registrar course information for the course you are interested in enrolling [email protected].

Community audits are required to purchase a parking permit from the New College Parking Services Office to park on campus. A vehicle registration form must be filled out online to obtain a parking permit. Permits may be picked up at the parking services office located on the first floor of the Palmer building D.

Community auditors are not issued New College student identification cards.

College students are expected to adhere to certain standards of classroom etiquette. That is, the manner in which students should act when classes are in session. The extended participation in the classroom, discussion, reading assignments, and homework papers will be established by the individual structure. To that end, please be courteous and considerate of the students who are taking the class for credit. Do not bring guests to attend class with you. Be respectful: be on time and stay for the entire class. It is disruptive to be late. Address the professor correctly: learn the professor’s name so that you can ask questions or address them when needed. Turn off your cell phone, or set it to silent/vibrate so it does not make any sound during class. Also, never answer a phone call during class.

Do not pack up before class ends: this can be distracting to the professor and students trying to listen to the end of the lecture. Raise your hand to ask a question or make a comment. Ask the structure before using technology such as cell phones, laptops, and recording devices. If you’re not sure what is acceptable in the classroom, ask the instructor what their preference is.
