Class Auditing
WCL alumni are entitled and encouraged to audit up to two classes per semester at WCL. Registration and processing fees are $100 per class. Graduates must register with the WCL Office of Alumni Relations (online), and receive approval, in order to attend a class. All open law school classes are available to alumni with the following exceptions:
- Required First Year Classes
- Classes that are full on the last day of late registration
- Clinic Classes
- Legal Writing Methods Classes
- Summer Academy in Human Rights and/or Arbitration
- Seminars
If you wish to audit a class during an upcoming semester, simply click on the registration link below and pay by credit card. Or, copy and complete the PDF form below and mail it, or bring it, to the address provided. Please enclose a check for the appropriate amount of $100 per class (make check out to Washington College of Law and include your AU ID number on the check).
The application will be approved by email (or by phone if no email is provided) once current students register for classes, and the registrar has given approval. A class for which you apply that is fully subscribed will result in a refund or an alternative class.

NOTE: Classes offered to alumni on an audit basis are solely for the personal benefit of the registered graduate. Graduates may not receive academic credit for auditing a class nor will the class appear on their transcript. Since we are unable to verify attendance or performance, we can not provide a letter or certificate as proof of successful class completion.
