Credit Courses
Even if you do not plan to earn a degree at this time, taking a credit course is a great way to explore new fields, discover your passion, or ease into returning to college. SUNY Broome offers a wide variety of credit courses across the curriculum. Most courses are open to any student who meets that course prerequisites. Course prerequisites are listed in the course description, and typically require that a student has successfully completed one or more specific preparatory courses.
Students who have not been accepted into a degree program are considered “non-matriculated”. Even if you are taking only a few classes at a time, you may wish to explore the benefits of matriculation. Matriculation is required for eligibility for many forms of financial aid and is required for graduation. Matriculated students are assigned an advisor to help them plan their studies.
On the SUNY Broome Community College website, the Take a Few Classes page includes links to:
Senior Audits: Any citizen of New York State who is 60 years of age or more may “audit” credit courses at Broome Community College without charge, as long as there is space available. In this context, the word “audit” means these students take the course by attending classes and being exposed to all the work given in class and assigned in the text. They do not have to do the homework or take the examinations, however, and they receive no letter grade or college credit. For information about Senior Audits, please contact the Registrar.
