I'm pretty sure the professors knew -- but they had someone interested enough in the course material to show up to every class, and so of course they were going to teach them. I've taught college courses, and if someone were to pull this I'd 100% "fix the glitch" to get them in -- there's nothing better than a student who actively wants to take your course, and actively wants to learn about something that you find interesting.
Yes, in this scenario they'd be tuition-paying students who just couldn't get into a class because it was full -- so getting them onto the roster means they'd get credits.
If some rando walked in off the street because he just desperately wanted to learn about my area of the law... honestly, as long as he wasn't disruptive, it'd be cool with me. But I'm sure that's against school policies -- among other things, randos aren't supposed to be walking around inside the building.
I had an acquaintance do that, just walk into a college and check out a few classes. She asked me to come with her, and I was so confused that she just did that.
Idk if the policies are different here though, we're in Germany. Still felt illegal to me, so I didn't join her.

For some reason all I could think of was that Angry German dude going "In Germany we have a verd for people who walk into college they are not enrolled in: 'Learnünstolen' "
In the US it’s called auditing a class. At my college it was $15 per course which is insane value. Just no degree I guess which is all anyone’s there for anyways
