Senior Citizens’ Continuing Education Registration Information

The Virginia Senior Citizens Higher Education Act of 1974 and amendments allow senior citizens to take classes at no charge under certain circumstances. Before the beginning of the semester in which you want to enroll, you must have (1) reached the age of sixty and (2) had legal domicile in Virginia for one year. A senior citizen is entitled to enroll and pay no tuition on a space-available basis for the following types of courses, as specified:

• Credit courses – eligible if taxable income did not exceed $15,000 in the previous year.
• Credit courses for audit (receive no credit) – eligible regardless of income.
• Non-credit courses – eligible regardless of income. 

Notes:

• Tuition-paying students are accommodated in courses before senior citizens participating in this program are enrolled.
• If you apply for free tuition AFTER you register and pay for a class, you are not eligible for a refund for that class.  If qualified, senior citizens shall pay no tuition or fees for courses, except fees established for the purpose of paying for course materials, such as books and supplies.
• The College reserves the right to cancel any class.
• Audit and non-credit enrollment is limited to three courses in one term.

Senior citizens must come in person to campus and apply to the college, present proof of age and fill out a Senior Citizen Certification of Eligibility for Free Tuition form, which may be obtained from the Office of Workforce Development. (Note: A new Senior Citizen Certification of Eligibility form must be completed in person each semester.) Once the necessary paperwork has been filled out, the applicant must call to determine if space is available. For classes that begin in the morning and afternoon, students must call between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. the day prior to the class; for evening classes, students must call between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. the day of the class. To check on class availability at the Annandale Campus, call 703-323-3168. To guarantee a place in a course, payment is required. A senior who has already made payment for a particular course may not reverse that registration to free tuition at a later time.
