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 encouraged to complete the advance preparation requirements for any MFA class.
  • *Auditors (including MFA alumni) are asked to remain “in the background” and not speak during class discussion and Q&A with instructors. (*Priority in class discussions must be given to matriculated students.)
  • A non-refundable fee per course of $35 for members of the public; $25 for Solstice MFA alumni.
