Senior Learner Program

Did you know that you can take college courses for the sheer enjoyment of learning?

The Senior Learner Program is for lifelong learners age 62 and older.

There are two options:

For non-degree credit, you can audit courses of special interest and enjoy library privileges for a small fee, plus parking fees. Senior learners are also responsible for all course-related fees. Specific mandatory fee amounts for the Senior Learner Program can be found by visiting the Tuition & Fees site. The non-degree credit program does not offer academic credit and does not require graded tests or papers. To apply, contact the Office of Admissions and to register, contact the Office of Records and Registration.
For degree credit, the Illinois Senior Citizen Courses Act (110 ILCS 990) permits Illinois senior citizens, over the age of 65, to enroll in regularly scheduled credit courses at UIS without the payment of tuition. This program allows you to earn undergraduate or graduate credit by paying only UIS fees; tuition is waived. You must be admitted as a degree seeking student to UIS and your annual household income must be below the threshold amount as indicated on the Senior Citizen Waiver Application (available on the Financial Aid Forms website). The degree credit program must be arranged through the Office of Financial Assistance.

Cost Recovery and Self-Supporting Programs are not eligible due to their unique tuition and fee waiver requirements and tuition schedules.
