Reduced Tuition for Senior Citizens

Minnesota resident citizens 62 years of age or older may attend college courses at a reduced tuition rate on a space-available basis. Senior citizens may register during the drop/add period the day following the first day of class. Courses taken for credit will be charged a $15.00 administrative fee and other required fees. Courses taken for audit (receive no credit) do not pay the administrative fee but are responsible for other required fees.

Verification of senior citizen status and residency will be required. Upon course registration each term, please contact the Student Success office to confirm the senior citizen rate.
