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: Courses have returned to in-person delivery and are not available remotely.

Deadlines for Fall 2022:

• Term 1 – All deadlines have passed
• Term 2
  • All Courses – October 13
• Other Courses – two weeks prior to course start date

Process:

1. Review the Course list available for auditing.
2. Request professor permission for the course(s) you wish to audit this semester by obtaining their signature on the JGSB Alumni Auditor Registration form.
3. Complete the Alumni Auditor Application (which will include uploading the completed JGSB Alumni Auditor form and a Financial Responsibility form).
4. The university’s Office of the Registrar will process your registration and provide you access with university systems.
