Senior Auditors Program

The Senior Auditors program provides Colorado residents ages 55 and over the opportunity to attend regular daytime classes at CU Boulder for a small fee and on a space-available basis.

Anyone wishing to participate in the Senior Auditors program must seek permission from the professor to audit a class. Senior auditors can sit in on classes as the semester begins and check with faculty to obtain signatures. A signature does not ensure placement into the class, but is required for registration.

Fire code and other restrictions limit which classes can be audited. A list of courses not available for auditing is available on the Alumni Association website.

Senior Auditor registration takes place at the Koenig Alumni Center.
