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 access to the public, non-subscription section of the online eLibrary. Readers may optionally purchase an annual library subscription that permits access to all premium content materials. Courses attended by Readers do not apply toward a degree and are not transcriptable. Individuals who become Readers should only do so after determining that they do not want to apply the course toward a degree. Enrollment of Readers is normally restricted to face-to-face classes at one of Carroll Institute’s teaching sites. Should a Reader wish to register for an online class, he or she must contact Nancy Muskrat at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or (817) 274-4284.

Course Fee - $40 per course
(Optional) Online Library Subscription - $300/per year
