Alumni can audit courses on a space-available basis and with the prior approval of the course instructor. Courses may be audited for 50 percent of the prevailing tuition. Alumni are permitted to audit classes in any content area, provided they meet the eligibility and pre-requisite requirements. Alumni who subsequently enroll in a given degree program will not be eligible to transfer the previously audited course(s) to that degree. They may, however, apply to have the content waived by the chair of the appropriate department. A waiver for the content does not, however, waive the unit requirement. Another graduate elective will need to be taken in its stead.
Steps to audit a course:
1) Print the audit form and fill out the top section that says "to be filled out by alum."
2) Call the campus nearest you at 800.NAT.UNIV and ask to speak to the Director of Student Services (DSS). The DSS will advise you on course availability and scheduling.
The DSS will help you to fill in the:
- Course Desired
- Academic Center
- Class Days
- Room Number
- Instructor
3) Fax the form to the Alumni Relations office at (858) 642-8748.
4) Alumni Relations will contact you when all appropriate parties have approved the audit form. This process may take up to one week.
