UW-Madison is adding its first-ever ASL course this coming fall. While this course and its waitlist are full, there is still an opportunity for non-students to get in on the educational action by becoming a Guest auditor.

Auditing is defined as observing a lecture course without actively participating. Courses that require active participation aren't available to audit. Think: Performing arts, labs, conversational languages.
