EVA101 - Evergreen Intent to Audit

Course Description

Auditing a class brings students 58+ back into the classroom with undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing their degrees in a variety of areas. Evergreen students are expected to be engaged in the course but should not submit assignments, take tests, or complete evaluations.*

There are three parts to auditing classes at Boston University that can be done in any order. If there is space in the class you have been approved to take, you’ll be enrolled in it during the Add period between (September 3 -16, 2024).

• Pre-register* for EVA101 Intent to Audit with your Evergreen/CPE account to let the Evergreen Office know that you wish to audit courses for the term. 

• • Everyone taking classes on campus must provide their Emergency Contact information. When enrolling in EVA101 be sure to provide this information on My Profile -> Emergency Contact in your Evergreen/CPE account.
  • The Intent to Audit form is not confirmation of the actual audit enrollment. You will receive a confirmation email from the Evergreen Office once the enrollment in the course is competed during the Add period (September 3 - 16, 2024), if space is available at that time.
  • Enrollments can only be made to classes that have open seats during the Add period
