How
to Register?
The first step in registering is to decide
which classes you want to take. Each term’s classes are listed in the PSU
Bulletin, which can be purchased at the PSU
Bookstore
(1715
SW 5th Avenue Portland)
for $1. It is also available online.
If you are registering for
the first time, we request that you come into the SALC office to
register. Please review the PSU
Bulletin to identify some classes you would like to take, and
then call the office at 503-725-4739 to find out about our opening hours. The
SALC office is located in Room 470H of the Urban Center Building
located at 506 S.W. Mill Street in downtown Portland between SW 5th and
SW 6th Avenues and SW Mill and SW Montgomery Streets.
If you have taken classes through the SALC before, there is no need
for you to come to the office to register. You may register online,
by mailing your registration form, or by dropping your registration form in the
mailbox in front of our office. All returning auditors will receive our
quarterly SALC newsletter about a month before the beginning of a new term. The
newsletter serves as a reminder that it is time to register, lists office hours,
and includes a registration form.
Your registration will be processed within
5 business days. You will receive a yellow registration confirmation sheet,
which lists your name, address, and the classes you signed up for. Please carry
this sheet with you at all times when on the PSU campus. You can have your
registration confirmation mailed to you, if you so elect, or it can be picked up
at the message board outside the SALC office.
Once you have received your registration
confirmation, you are ready for the start of the term. During the first week of classes, please go to class and
introduce yourself to the instructor, telling them that you are a senior
auditor. In the unlikely event that the class is full, please contact the SALC
to select another class.
After you have confirmed that there is
space for you, please go to the Cashier’s
office (NH 178) to pay the class
fee, if there is one listed in the PSU Bulletin. Please retain the receipt throughout the term;
instructors and PSU staff may request to see it.
For more detailed information, please check our Frequently Asked Questions.
