Join SALC

If you would like to become an auditor with the Senior Adult Learning Center (SALC) at Portland State, the first step is to complete the online Senior Auditor One-Time Application Form. We have created a How To video to walk you through this form. You must be 65+ and an Oregon resident to join SALC as an auditor.

This form only needs to be filled out once and it is used to get you set up within the PSU database and generate your student ID number, and ODIN online account, used to enroll in classes. Once the form is submitted to SALC, you will receive an email with a copy of your responses.

Following the submission of the form, you will be charged a one-time, non-refundable fee of $25 to your student account. To make your payment, go to my.pdx.edu and click on the "Finances" tab to view account charges.

After you’ve completed these steps and become a part of SALC, you can follow the steps for How to Register for Classes.
