'WATCH ONLY' ENROLLMENT IN THE MENTORSHIPS

The core of the SmArt School program is the highly interactive long term mentorships with high level professionals and industry guests reviewing student work. Students have a regular interchange with their teachers who respond to students in a customized small class setting.

Yet, we recognize that simply observing such a class can also be enriching. So we allow a maximum of twenty students to enroll as 'audit only' students in each course.  

Auditing students simply log in to observe a class. They:
  • can observe all fourteen weeks.
  • must observe during class time because classes are not recorded. 
  • do not receive class materials, syllabuses, assignments, etc.
  • do not show work, ask questions of, email, or otherwise interact with the teacher. 
  • can join the chat box with the other students while class is in session.

For some artists an audit can be the perfect thing. Audits are:
  • inexpensive
  • lower commitment
  • good for students who learn best through observation
  • good for people who want to see what a mentorship is like before enrolling in the full program

Only twenty students are allowed to audit each course as 'audit only' students. Students using their FREE Audit option are not included in this number. FREE audit students are always assured a place in the course they would like to audit. When you enroll in a full mentorship you get a FREE audit.
