What is the Sixty-Plus (60+) Program?
FORMS TO ENROLL IN 60+
Download the 60+ admission application
Income verification form
The University of Akron’s Sixty-Plus (60+) Program provides Ohio residents age 60 and older with the opportunity to audit credit classes on a space-available basis.
Sixty-Plus students may register for up to 11 credits (with appropriate prerequisites) per academic term. Auditing allows students to enroll in courses, but college credit is not awarded.
Entrance to the 60+ program is a three-step process:
Complete the admission application form and return to the address supplied on the form. Your application will be processed and you will be assigned a student ID number. This admission step is completed one time only (you do not have to fill in another application form once you have a student ID number).
Complete the income verification form. The income verification form is not needed for auditing classes. If you want to take courses for credit in the 60+ program, you must have a family income of less than 200% of the federal poverty guideline as revised annually by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. For more information, see Option B, below.
Register for classes during our in-person registration days, described lower on this page.
