To encourage liberal learning of all kinds, above and beyond enrollment in courses leading toward formal degrees, the university offers a variety of opportunities for informal study:
Guest of University Status
Any professional persons who wish to use university facilities for independent study may apply to the provost for cards designating them as guests of the university.
Auditing Courses
To audit a course requires the
permission of the instructor and is enrollment on a non-credit basis. An auditor is not
held accountable for examinations or other written work and does not
receive a grade. If the instructor approves, the course may be entered
upon the transcript as audit. Auditing a class is the same price as regular tuition.
Visiting Classes
Members of the academic community are encouraged to visit classes that interest them. No fee is charged for the privilege. Doing so requires the permission of the instructor.
