Sixty Plus (60+)

What is the Sixty Plus (60+) Program?

The University of Akron's Sixty Plus (60+) Program is designed to provide Ohio residents age 60 and older with the opportunity to audit credit classes on a space-available basis. Sixty Plus (60+) students may register for up to three classes (with appropriate prerequisites) per academic term. Auditing allows students to enroll in courses, but college credit is not awarded.

What does the Sixty Plus (60+) Program Cost?

Sixty Plus (60+) students are exempt from payment of all tuition and general service fees. Students are, however, expected to pay for any books, lab fees, and parking (if needed). Registration must be completed during the designated dates and times. Late registration will not be accommodated.
If you are interested in the Sixty Plus program, you will need to complete an application form before registering for classes.

Note: This tuition and general service fee exemption does not apply to noncredit Continuing Education courses.
