Concurrent Enrollment

Special Course Auditing Opportunities!

A limited number of spaces in select SMU undergraduate and graduate courses are available to members of the community who wish to experience a for-credit course concurrently – on a noncredit, audit basis. These select courses, noted in the print catalog and online with an *, meet weekly for the duration of the semester – about five weeks in the summer, and 14 weeks during the fall or spring terms. Enrollment is a fraction of SMU tuition; just $203/credit hour. Auditors are invited to keep up with the reading and participate in class discussions, but are not required to produce papers or take quizzes/exams.
