Program Rules

Everyone involved in the Senior Scholars Program knows what a tremendous opportunity it is to learn from some of the top professors in the country on many fascinating topics. To optimize your experience of the program, as well as that of the professors and UCLA students involved, please keep in mind the following guidelines:

  1. Please keep personal opinions and beliefs out of the classroom.
  2. Enrolled undergraduate students have priority seating.
  3. The instructor will determine the acceptable level of participation from auditors. Please allow the enrolled undergraduate students the opportunity to participate first. If you are participating in an online course, please keep your microphone muted.
  4. Discussion sessions/labs and professors’ office hours are intended for enrolled students, not Senior Scholars.
  5. The Scholars program is not responsible for any additional fees incurred, including but not limited to: book, material, and parking fees.
  6. Please refrain from emailing the professor directly unless the professor initiates the communication.
  7. Scholar’s auditing in person courses must adhere to UCLA COVID-19 protocols.
  8. Please contact the Longevity Center with any enrollment or technical problems. Please do not email other campus departments.


*Participation in the Senior Scholars Program is a privilege. The Program expects that its Scholars will comply with Program guidelines at all times. The failure to comply with any guideline(s) may prevent a Scholar from further participation in the Program.  Scholars are expected to respect other Scholars, members of the UCLA workforce, students, and faculty. Threats, violence, disrespectful communication or harassment of other Scholars, members of the UCLA workforce, students or faculty, for any reason, including but not limited to an individual’s age, ancestry, color, culture, disability (physical or intellectual), ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, language, military/veteran status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or other aspect of difference, will not be tolerated.
