Auditors must enroll for a three-credit course and pay one-half tuition plus fees. Housing charges
are as outlined in this catalog. The main criterion for auditing is written permission from the instructor or
division director. It is the auditor's responsibility to obtain permission prior to the start of the course.
CERTAIN COURSES AND WORKSHOPS MAY NOT BE OPEN TO AUDITORS.
Auditors may register
through the mail
with the registration form at the back of the printed catalog or in
person in the Registrar's Office.
Under no circumstances may credit be earned through auditing,
nor will a letter grade be given at the
conclusion of the course.

Caring for Students
Caring for the World
Founded in 1963 with 249
students, Southampton College has grown
into a community of about 1300
students and 200 faculty and staff who live and work together
among the villages and waterways of Long
Island's East End. The College enjoys all the benefits of its
link with Long Island University, one of the
largest private universities in the country, while remaining
small and select enough for students to receive
individual attention and recognition.
Southampton College's
mission statement
recognizes the importance
of a close-knit community. "The close human relationships
among students, faculty, staff and the
community provide a nurturing environment that prepares students
with both the skills to become
effective members of society and a sense of social obligation that
will enrich their lives and careers.
Small class-size, outstanding faculty, friendly and accessible
staff and administration all combine to create
and open atmosphere with an emphasis on individual attention.
Students are an integral part of the
Southampton community." Our mission statement sums up our
obligation to education and community.
"As we move toward the twenty-first century,
Southampton will remain strong in its commitment to care
for students who will care for the world."
