Senior Citizens 60 and Up Enrollment
On a space-available basis, eligible Ohio residents, age 60 or older may enroll in university courses on a tuition free basis according to Section 3345.27 of the Ohio Revised Code. Students are responsible for lab fees, books, and any other special fees and must meet course prerequisites or have instructor permission to enroll. 60 and Up registration begins the First day of classes, as noted in the Academic Calendar and must be completed in person at RaiderConnect, located in the Student Union or at Lake Campus Enrollment Services. All registration changes (including changes in audit or credit status) must be completed by the Last day to change audit status, as noted on the Academic Calendar.
For eligible students who wish to participate on a noncredit (audit) basis, tuition is free. Eligible students who wish to earn academic credit for the tuition-free courses must also demonstrate financial need as stipulated in Section 3345.27 Ohio Revised Code (family income less than 200% of the federal poverty guideline) based on the number of family members living in the home. Qualifying students will need to complete a 60 and Up Eligibility Form (PDF) and a signed copy of the current federal tax return to document financial need.
Classes are offered on a space available basis, and some workshops/classes are not available through this program. For help with course selection for nondegree students, contact the advising center in the University College (937) 775-5750.

The one-time $10 application fee will be refunded upon registration and proof of eligibility for the 60 and Up program. Eligible students who have a bachelor’s degree may apply to the Graduate School for admission to take graduate courses in either nondegree graduate status or to apply for admission to a graduate degree program.
