Class sizes are limited. Priority will be given to those who enroll for credit either via our academic host (Michigan State University) or through their home university if USPAS courses are directly co-listed (i.e. Indiana University, MIT, MSU) or are available via Special Topics courses. Auditors will be admitted on a space-available basis only after those seeking credit / a grade. Those unable to enroll for credit (including international students living outside the U.S.) will be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

International participants not currently in the U.S. may participate but they cannot earn Michigan State University credit. They may ask that their performance be graded and when the session is over the USPAS will provide a letter confirming participation and grade.

• Credit / Audit Status:*
  Enrolling for university credit or enrolling for a grade International student living outside the USA whose performance will be graded Audit
