Life-Long Learning status affords an opportunity for individuals to enroll in a few courses of specific interest to them without completing the regular application. Individuals applying to The W as a Life-Long Learner may enroll in classes for academic credit, or they may audit courses (no academic credit is awarded).
Requirements and Restrictions for Life-Long Learner Applicants:
You must be 21 or older.
Life-Long Learning students are not eligible for financial aid, scholarships or institutional grants (except for senior citizens).
Senior citizens (age 65+) are eligible for a scholarship that covers tuition.
Students entering as Life-Long Learners may take the courses offered for credit, or they may audit the course.
Individuals may not continue to enroll as a Life-Long Learner, after earning 21 semester hours of academic credits without special permission from the Provost.
After completing 21 hours of classes for academic credit, students may be required to apply through the regular university admissions process.
Classes taken not for credit (auditing) can not be applied to degree programs nor to the Executive Certificate Programs.
Life Long Learners should refer to the university calendar for general admission deadlines.
Students who do not desire to seek a degree but are interested in taking courses for credit (with or without a grade) should apply for admission to The W as a Lifelong Learner. However, students interested in taking non-credit courses, should contact the Office of Admissions. For more information, please call 662-329-7106 or email admissions@muw.edu.
