Senior Citizen Tuition Waivers

Senior citizen tuition waivers are available to persons 60 years of age or older who meet the requirements of Florida residency. The waiver allows qualified individuals to attend credit classes on a space-available, audit basis. Audit courses receive a grade of “X” which carries no college credit. Senior citizens using waivers are permitted to register from the second to the last day of late registration, as published in the Academic Calendar. Senior citizens are subject to the same course load maximums as traditional students. Senior Citizen tuition waivers are for senior citizen students who are auditing courses but not seeking to earn a degree. Tuition waivers must be submitted to the Bursar's Office by the payment deadline. 

Application Deadlines:

Fall Term - August 1

Spring Term - December 1

Summer Term - May 1

All students, including senior citizen tuition waiver students, are required to meet current immunization requirements for participation in on-campus courses. Distance/virtual learning does NOT mean students are exempt from the immunization requirements.
