On-Campus Parking
As an auditor, you must register your vehicle with the Parking Office. Traffic Rules and Regulations state in Article I, Section 15, Motor Vehicle Registration: “Anyone auditing a class at Wake Forest University needs to register their vehicle, no matter what the duration or length of the class may be. Class auditors parking on campus during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. may purchase a semester hangtag.” The Parking & Transportation Office is located in Alumni Hall. You can access their website for more information or contact them at 336.758.PARK.
Student ID
Obtain your Deacon OneCard (Student ID). The Deacon OneCard is the official Wake Forest University identification card used by all faculty, staff and students. The Deacon OneCard has many functions including identification, building access, library privileges, and event admission on campus. The Deacon OneCard Office is located in Maya Angelou Hall, Suite 001.
Transcripts
As an auditor, you can request an official transcript from Wake Forest University as a record of auditing the course. You will not be assigned a grade; the transcript will indicate “AU” (Auditor).
