The Community Scholars program offers senior scholars (age 60 and older) the opportunity to audit courses at a special rate of $250 per course. Most of our undergraduate courses are available to audit in the fall and spring semesters. Scholars can go to our self-service page to see a full listing of courses offered by semester (instructions for accessing and browsing self service are below). Once a course is determined, community scholars complete the Audit Request Form. The form is reviewed and then processed by the registrar’s office. The registrar’s office will reach out to the community scholar, if they need additional information to create a student account, or to let them know their audit request is complete. Please contact registrar@arcadia.edu with any questions.
