• sixty years of age or above
• admitted and classified as a senior citizen by the Office of Admissions prior to registering for classes

An application and a Residency Declaration are required for all new Learning for a Lifetime participants and for those returning after breaking continuous enrollment (not taking classes for three consecutive terms). All students must also submit immunization information when first joining the program.

Selecting Courses

º£½ÇÉçÇøCourse Catalog

Undergraduate courses may only be taken on a space-available basis. LFL students may not use their fee waiver for courses taken through Professional and Lifelong Learning (formerly Continuing Education), MAT1033- Intermediate Algebra, dissertation, thesis, practicum, independent study, applied music, supervised research, supervised teaching or internship courses.

Restrictions may limit an LFL's course selection, which are listed in the University catalog and on the course schedule. Our system prevents students from adding restricted courses to their schedule. If you are interested in taking a course with a restriction, you must contact the department offering the course prior to registration. If you provide written approval from the academic department, or from a professor in the appropriate academic advising office, an override may be assigned, allowing you to register for a restricted course on the designated registration day.

Registration

There is a specific registration day for admitted LFL students. For tuition fees to be waived, you must register for courses on the designated LFL registration day. LFL students can self-register in or come into One-Stop Student Services (Hicks Hall: Building 53, 1st Floor) for assistance. Be sure to first check the One-Stop webpage for walk-in and appointment information. Once registered, follow the instructions below to change the grade mode designation to "Audit". Please note that some classes are not permitted to be taken in audit grade mode.

Audit Grade

**IMPORTANT**: If you register for classes before the assigned registration day, you will be responsible for all tuition and fees.

Deadlines are subject to change.
