SENIOR  CITIZENS

 

Minnesota residents 62 years old or older may enroll in credit courses on a space-available basis without paying tuition and activity fees. The senior citizen rate applies only to students who are not collecting financial aid. Those choosing to enroll will be charged $15 per credit plus fees.

Senior citizens may register for a course the day after the first class meets if there is space available in the course. Senior citizens who wish to guarantee their enrollment in a course may register earlier, but they will be required to pay full tuition and fees. If a senior citizen guarantees enrollment by registering early, they will not be awarded the tuition benefit for that course at a later date.

Guaranteed Enrollment:

Senior citizens wishing to guarantee their enrollment in a course may register earlier, but would be required to pay full tuition and fees.
