Tuition Waiver for Senior Citizens 

Connecticut resident senior citizens, age 62 and over, are eligible for tuition-free study at the university. The waiver of tuition includes the annual State Tuition and State University Fee for full-time study and the per-credit fee for part-time study.

However, all part-time students, including those who are registered as senior citizens, are responsible for paying the registration fee, as well as any course studio or lab fees.

For senior citizens who are not enrolled in a degree program but are planning to take courses for enrichment, admission to a particular course depends upon course enrollment quotas established on the basis of tuition-paying students. Other fees, such as the University General Fee, and the Student Activity Fee, are not waived for senior citizens.

Special registration for senior citizens planning to enroll part time is held just before the beginning of each semester. For more information, senior citizens may contact the Academic Advisement Center, located in the Wintergreen building.
