Class Audit Policy

  • Auditing of Solstice MFA classes is offered on a space-available basis and requires the approval of the Assistant Director. 
  • Only the classes featured on the Audit List are available to the public. 
  • Priority in class enrollment is given to matriculated MFA students. 
  • Should an auditor later apply and be accepted to the MFA Program, classes taken prior to acceptance will not be credited toward the degree. 
  • The college will not maintain attendance or academic records of classes audited. 
  • Auditors are expected to complete the advance preparation requirements for any MFA class; this will ensure that all participants are “on the same page.” 
  • While priority in class discussions must be given to matriculated students, individual faculty members will determine the extent to which auditors may participate in writing exercises/workshop-style discussions.
  • A non-refundable fee per course of $40 for members of the public.
