Students can earn credit by attending Visiting Scholars Program lectures and seminars. Graduate students have the option of registering for Sociology 994 (colloquium in Critical Sociology) for either graded or ungraded credit (s/u). Undergraduate students must take the course for graded credit.

The seminar is organized very flexibly, so students can take from one to three credits in a term, depending on the number of visiting scholars during that term. Students may decide at any point which lecture and seminar series to attend for credit, and it is possible to register for credits at any point in the semester. Students can also accumulate credits over the span of two semesters, up to a maximum of three credits.
