Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver Policy

A Senior Citizen is defined as “any person 65 years of age or older.” Tuition will be waived on eligible courses on a SPACE AVAILABLE basis; however, the class must reach its minimum paying enrollment, but not its maximum, for the policy to apply. Proof of age and photo identification are required, and the student must pay all course/lab fees.

Continuing Education Courses: A Senior Citizen must complete the “Continuing Education Registration Form.” Continuing education courses that do not meet the criteria for State funding must be self-supporting and are not eligible for the Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver. Ineligible courses include all Leisure Studies courses and most occupational continuing education courses that are less than seven clock hours in length.

Academic Courses: Senior Citizens who are NOT seeking degree credit may enroll in semester credit hour courses on a space available basis after regular registration is complete. The Senior Citizen must complete the “Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver” and may only enroll in academic courses that are eligible for audit. Prior to enrollment, written permission is required from the instructor and the department chair. The tuition waiver is limited to six semester hours.
