Readers
A "Reader" at Carroll Institute takes courses much like an auditor in other institutions. Individuals who elect to take courses as a Reader may attend class sessions, receive class materials, participate in class discussions and activities, and have optional access to the NexLearn Online Library. Courses attended by Readers, however, do not apply toward course of study requirements and are not transcriptable. Individuals who become Readers should only do so after determining that they do not want to apply the course(s) toward a program of study for a degree.

Registration Fee  - No charge
Course Fee $40/per course
(Optional) Online Library Fee $125/per year
