General Advice
- Most instructors will allow "audits" i.e. postdocs to sit in on a class without getting credit. Be sure to contact the instructor first and ask him/her if they mind if you audit the class.
- If you require credit for the class you should go through the Graham School to register formally for any courses as a non-degree seeking individual.
