Auditing Options for Faculty, Staff and Spouses
Vanderbilt faculty, staff, and their spouses are permitted to audit one class free of charge each semester, if the class size and requirements are suitable for auditing.
Audits are managed through the Division of Unclassified Studies at the University Registrar's Office. To qualify for this benefit, the staff member must have completed the orientation and evaluation period and received approval from his or her supervisor.
To apply to audit a course, the faculty/staff member must:
- Check the list of Blair classes below to determine if the course is available for audit. (Some Blair class environments require active participation of all students to gain knowledge in the course. These classes are not available for audit.)
- Contact the Blair faculty member teaching the course to ensure there is space for an auditor.
- Visit the Division of Unclassified Studies Faculty/Staff page. Fill out the DUS audit form and ask your supervisor to sign it.
- Send the completed audit form to the Office of the University Registrar, Division of Unclassified Studies, Peabody # 505.
- The names of faculty/staff auditors do not appear on class rolls and no official record of attendance is kept.
