About Program 60
How Program 60 Works
Program 60 participants audit courses. No academic credit is awarded. Since audited courses do not apply toward a certificate or degree, you aren't required to attend the course or complete any of the assignments, tests or examinations.
You are encouraged to introduce yourself to your course instructor the first day of class to decide together how much you will participate in class. Some courses such as foreign language courses or lab courses require a higher level of participation. Studio courses such as art and music, are not included in Program 60.
Program 60 Admission
You must apply and be admitted to Program 60 to register for courses. Admission must be finalized prior to the first day of the term. There is no application fee.
Once admitted, you can continue to register for courses each semester. No need to reapply. You only need to reapply if you stop taking classes for two consecutive terms.
You will receive an e-mail about a week before Program 60 registration to RSVP for an advising time.
