TUITION
AND FEE WAIVERS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide notices to persons over sixty (60) years of age of tuition and fee waiver regulations provided for by the Senior Citizens Higher Education Act of l974, as amended in l977 by Sections 23-38.55, 23-38.58, and 23-38.59 of the Code of Virginia and as amended by Senate Bill 307 July 1, l988.
II. POLICY
Senior citizens age sixty (60) or over at the beginning of the
academic year shall be permitted under rules and regulations as may be
prescribed by the State Council of Higher Education to register for and enroll
in courses as a full-time or part-time student for academic credit if such senior citizen had a taxable income not exceeding
ten thousand (10,000) dollars for federal income tax
purposes for the year preceding the year in which enrollment is sought. They may
register for and audit courses offered for academic credit and register for and
enroll in courses not offered for academic credit in any state institution of
higher education in this Commonwealth. Such senior citizen shall pay no tuition
or fees except fees established for the purpose of paying for courses materials,
such as laboratory fees, but shall be subject to the admission requirements of
the University and a determination by the University of its ability to offer
the course or courses for which the senior citizen registers.
There shall be no limit to the number of terms, quarters or
semesters in which a senior citizen who is not enrolled for academic credit may
register for courses but he may register for no more than three courses in any
one (1) term, quarter or semester.
