In order to comply with university policies, alumni auditing is now available only as an official audit. While this no longer allows us to offer our super discounted audit rate, we have negotiated a reduced official audit rate of $250 per course. Since the audits are now official, they will appear on students’ transcripts.  

Please see below for the current deadlines and updated auditing process. NOTE: For spring 2021, all alumni auditors are required to attend classes remotely as classroom seats are reserved for current students. Additionally, faculty may request that auditors have their camera or microphones on or off, based on the needs of their individual course.

Deadlines for Spring 2021:

• All deadlines have passed (Fall 2021 deadlines will be available in mid-June).

Process:

1. Review the Course list available for auditing (Fall 2021 course list will be available in mid-June).
