Senior Citizens
Minnesota resident senior citizens, 62 years of age or older, may enroll in credit courses on a space-available basis beginning on the second day of the term. Seniors must self-identify and provide proof of age at the Records Office.
Senior citizens enrolled in credit courses are not charged for tuition, but are charged an administrative fee of $20 per credit in addition to regular and special fees, including but not limited to per-credit Technology and MSCSA fees, textbook and material fees. A charge will be applied to closed enrollment training programs. Other fees, such as parking or a late fee may be assessed if applicable.*
Senior Citizens must have reached the applicable age of 62 before the beginning of the term to be eligible for the Senior Citizen rate.
Senior citizens wishing to guarantee their enrollment in a course may register earlier, but will be required to pay full tuition and fees.
Senior Citizen who register for courses prior to the second day of the term are charged at the regular tuition rate. Courses may not be subsequently dropped and re-added to receive the senior rate.
Minnesota resident senior citizens are not charged tuition when auditing a credit course or taking a noncredit course. You may request to audit a course by completing the “Course Audit” form and submit it at the time of registration.
Closed enrollment contract training, courses designed and offered specifically and exclusively for senior citizens, or professional continuing education courses are not eligible for a free/or reduced rate.
