COURSES FOR CREDIT

Cosponsored by the OKC Downtown College, these courses are available for college credit through Oklahoma City Community College and the University of Central Oklahoma, respectively. Students may audit credit courses for no grade or credit on a space-available basis. Regular credit tuition and fees still apply. Students auditing a class are expected to have the same prerequi­sites completed as students enrolled for credit. Residents of Oklahoma, 65 years of age or older, may audit a course at a much reduced price contingent upon available classroom space. Senior citizens requesting the reduced rate should enroll in person at the OKC Downtown College Office, 4th Floor of the Downtown Library, 300 Park Avenue. Special incentives are available for Museum members. For more information or to enroll, contact Jimmie Sue Baker at (405) 232-3382 or jbaker@downtowncollege.com; or go to www.downtowncollege.com.
