UCLA Senior Scholars Membership is a program that provides older adults (50+) with an opportunity to connect with UCLA’s academic community. Membership benefits include auditing privileges to sit in UCLA undergraduate courses in various subject areas, as well as exclusive access to Senior Scholar’s networking events.
Scholars who opt to audit courses (pending space availability and approval from instructors) will be able to attend lectures and follow along with class readings. However, scholars do not take exams, write papers, turn in homework assignments or attend discussion sections/labs. Since scholars do not receive a grade or academic credit, these auditing activities will not result in UCLA student records including transcripts.
Example blurb: “Keep up with the latest events from UCLA Longevity Center”

“I cannot tell you how much I enjoy this program. I have found every class I have taken thoroughly enjoyable and truly enriching.”
“I always find Senior Scholars interesting, even helpful. They are often able to share experiences our students did not have.”
“I appreciate my chances of taking classes at UCLA. I even get to love the Bruin Bear as much as the Trojan. ( I never thought I would be studying at UCLA being a Trojan for 6 years.)”
