60 and Over Auditors Program

UB looks forward to welcoming Senior Auditors back to campus for in-person courses, however, room capacity will continue to be a factor in this decision. Room assignments will be made in mid-summer, and will follow health and safety guidelines.

Courses may be audited on a space-available basis. Matriculated undergraduate and graduate students will have priority to seats in all in-person courses. Senior Auditor requests will be processed at the end of the drop/add period when additional seats are available. A remote option will not be available for in-person course offerings. No exceptions will be made.

Sixty and over requests will be accepted after August 1, and will be processed after the drop/add period concludes.

Are you 60 years of age or older? Are you looking for self-enrichment or perhaps simply exploring your academic options? If so, the University at Buffalo is the perfect place for you!
