Auditing

Lifelong Learning For Merage Alumni

The Paul Merage School of Business is pleased to be able to offer lifetime auditing privileges for all eligible alumni in some of our core and elective courses. Whether you are looking to audit a course that was not available to you when you were a student, or looking to refresh what you learned in a previous course, the Merage Alumni Relations Office is happy to work with all alumni interested in coming back to audit an MBA course.

If you would like to look into the possibility of auditing a course, the first step is to contact the Merage Alumni Relations Office at 949-824-7167. We can then assist you with the process and steps you will need to take in order to look into auditing a particular class and quarter. Please keep in mind that alumni are allowed to audit courses in an MBA program that is different than the one in which they graduated from. For example, if you were an EMBA student, you can still look into auditing a FEMBA course

Once you have spoken with us in the Merage Alumni Relations Office, we will then put you in touch with the appropriate Program Manager for the MBA program (FEMBA, EMBA, HCEMBA, Full Time) in which you are interested in auditing. The Program Manager will work with you on space availability, faculty approvals, and other access and details that the course may require.

We look forward to working with you and getting you back into the classroom.

Auditing For Credit

The privilege of auditing courses is granted to all alumni throughout your lifetime but cannot be recorded for credit unless you pay a fee. Therefore, if you want it to show on your transcript you need to enroll through UCI EXTENSION http://www.unex.uci.edu/. After filling out the registration paperwork with the course information and paying the fee, the program director will determine if there is room in the course you're interested in and get the approval from the instructor. Once your request has been approved it will be routed back to UCI Extension. Aside from paying the UCI Extension fee, you still would have to pay for books (via the campus bookstore or out in the open market) and secure parking.
