Visit a Class

From September through April, you may sit in on the Davidson classes of your choice. The classes listed below have been pre-approved by their professors for prospective student visitation. Syllabi for these classes have been compiled in notebooks in the lobby of the Admission Office

Before attending a class, you must come to the Admission Office to check the syllabus located in one of the binders in the lobby of the office. These syllabi have been complied as a resource to enable you to become familiar with the courses you choose to visit. We also advise that you arrive at the class a few minutes early, introduce yourself to the professor, and stay until the class is over.

**Please be sure to check the syllabus for dates of reviews (exams), quizzes, class presentations, movie viewings, or special class events, as courses are not available for visitation on these days.

Class visitation is meant for prospective students only. Due to limited seating inside Davidson classrooms, we ask that parents and others accompanying prospective students refrain from visiting class.
