Auditing a Class

Current Students

A current Brandeis Law student (or other UofL graduate or professional student) may audit a class under the following conditions:

1. There is room in the class and no one is on the waiting list;

2. The instructor agrees to let the student audit the class; and

3. The total semester credit hours do not exceed 18 for a full-time student or 12 for a part-time student when including the auditing credits.

A part-time student who is eligible to audit will have to pay the per-credit tuition rate for the audited credits up to a total of credit hours of 10. Once he or she has reached 10 credits, the full-time tuition rate is applied, rather than the per-credit tuition rate.

Auditing students are held to the same attendance rules as a graded course. The work and participation required by the auditing student will be determined by the instructor of the course. Current students may not sit in a class without registering.

Current Attorneys

Current attorneys may audit a class as a non-degree student under the following conditions:

1. If there is room in the class after Brandeis Law students register;

2. The instructor gives specific permission for the outside student to enroll, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs approves; and the outside student registers for the class and pays tuition at current rates.

Auditing attorneys are held to the same attendance rules as a graded course. The work and participation required by the auditing student will be determined by the instructor of the course.

Current attorneys may not sit in a class without registering.

Current attorneys should contact the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs if interested in auditing a course. They will have to make a formal application through the Law Admissions Office.
