Senior Auditing Program

Adults who are 60 years of age or older may audit most New York State-funded, credit-bearing courses offered at Stony Brook upon payment of the $10 auditing fee for each session, provided space is available in the classroom and the instructor permits auditors. The exceptions to this policy include foreign language and English literature courses, laboratory courses, studio art courses, physical education courses, instrumental music courses, and Health Sciences Center courses, as well as courses offered in self-supporting non-credit programs sponsored by the School of Professional Development, Crafts Center, Museum of Long Island Natural Sciences, and Division of Physical Education and Athletics, among others.
 
For Fall 2008, registration for senior citizen auditing will be from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Thursday, September 4. Registration takes place in the lobby of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. Auditors can plan ahead by viewing the course descriptions on the SOLAR System website.

Please remember that auditors must refrain from participating in class discussions and may not turn in or ask for grading of homework, term papers or examinations. Auditors are also not eligible for Blackboard accounts. For further information, email SPD or call 631.632.7063.
