Events<\/h2>\n

Courses<\/h2>\n

Depending on the age and residency of the learner, there are two ways for adult learners to enroll in courses. Many of our faculty are happy to accommodate non-traditional learners.<\/p>\n

Adults under age 60<\/h3>\n

Adults under 60 years of age should register as a nonmatriculated student (NM)\u00a0unless<\/em>\u00a0planning to apply the credits you earn toward a specific graduate-level (master\u2019s or Ph.D.) degree. Most people will fall into this category.<\/p>\n

For autumn, winter and spring quarters:\u00a0Register as a nonmatriculated (NM) student<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For summer quarter: Go to\u00a0the Summer quarter website<\/a>\u00a0to register as a nonmatriculated student.\u00a0Summer quarter is often the best quarter for nonmatriculated students to take courses at the UW. In addition to generally having smaller class sizes in the summer,\u00a0intensive language courses<\/a>\u00a0are offered in summer only.<\/p>\n

Check\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0for FAQs and\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0for fees for nonmatriculated students.<\/p>\n

WA residents over age 60<\/h3>\n

Washington residents over 60 years of age are able to enroll in courses at the UW through the\u00a0ACCESS program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ACCESS students attend classes on an audit basis as nonmatriculated students. As an auditor, you may not participate in class discussions, take tests, or submit papers.<\/p>\n

It is strongly recommended that ACCESS students contact the professor (preferably via email) in advance of enrolling.\u00a0 There are course limitations<\/a> however and courses through the department of Asian Languages and Literature are not included in the ACCESS program.<\/p>\n

ACCESS students enroll for a maximum of two courses per quarter for the low registration fee of $5. This does not include the Technology Fee that allows all registered students to have an email account and use of the computer labs. It is approximately $4 per credit that you are registered for. For example a student auditing a 5 credit class will pay approximately $25 per quarter with both fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
