Auditing for Non-Students
Through the auditing program, laity and clergy may sit in on up to two courses per semester at a reduced fee ($25 application fee; $200 registration fee). Continuing education units (CEUS) for auditing can be obtained by paying an additional fee at a rate of $25 per unit (credit hour). Space for auditing is limited based on space availability, approval by the director of lifelong learning and course instructor. Applications must be received one month prior to the semester start date.
Academic credit for individual classes can be obtained by registering with the admissions department as a special student. The admission department can be reached at candleradmissions@emory.edu or 404.727.6326.
