Senior Guest Auditor Home Care Path

The University of Wisconsin (UW) has hundreds of college credit courses available to senior state residents on an audit basis. Senior auditors can sit in on lecture courses and learn from UW faculty wihtout the obligation of tests or assignments. Senior guest auditors (60 years of age or older) do not have to pay tuition. Class participation is passive, but regular attendance is required.

The senior is eligible to audit UW courses if they are 60 or more years of age, can prove permanent residency in Wisconsin, and have an interest in learning. At least three weeks before classes start complete an application from The Adult and Student Services Center (ASSC 608-263-6960 assc@dcs.wisc.edu). Once accepted you will receive permission to enroll forms. The permission to enroll forms are submitted to the class instructor and expectations are reviewed.

Once accepted senior guest auditors are considered University of Wisconsin Madison students. Seniors then obtain a UW Madison photo ID, and can access the campus facilities and resources. Membership to the recreational sports facilities would be an additional cost.

The senior guest auditor can sit in on lecture only courses, with space available, and must have prior instructor approval. Seniors can attend more than one class per semester. Regular attendance results in a satisfactory (S) grade. Missing classes you may receive a no (NR) report grade.
