Eligibility Information for other students and scholars

The Graduate School sponsors English Language Programs services with support from other schools in the university for the purpose of assisting its students and postdoctoral fellows with their graduate coursework and teaching responsibilities. Other Northwestern affiliates, such as faculty, staff, research associates, postdoctoral research associates, visiting scholars, and visiting pre-doctoral fellows, are able to apply for English Language Programs services, but are given lower priority than TGS students and scholars.

Northwestern affiliates may not register for courses for credit. Instead, they may apply to audit our courses. Auditors participate fully in the class and should expect to attend all sessions of the course, once they have received confirmation that their application has been accepted. Auditors who miss two consecutive sessions of the course without notice or three sessions total may be dropped from the course. To apply as an auditor for classes, visit our registration page during the affiliate registration period.

Applications for classes are checked for accuracy. If you provide incorrect information on your application, it will automatically be rejected. If you repeatedly provide incorrect information, you may be barred from applying in the future. If you are unsure about your status, please contact us BEFORE you apply, so that we can try to verify it for you.

Registration for all other services, including tutoring and NativeAccent speech training software, will open during the affliate registration period on our registration page.
