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). Auditing allows students to attend classes, but college credit is not awarded. Registration must be completed during the designated dates and times. Late registration will not be accommodated.

When you submit your remission card the cashier will confirm the amount due after tuition and fees are waived. For the balance due, you may pay by check or cash with the cashier, or by check or credit card online. Tuition and fees are subject to change. Tuition and fees should be paid on the date of registration to avoid late fees or other penalties. Be sure to turn in your fee remission card when you pay your fees.

Auditing allows students to attend classes, but college credit is not awarded. You should be told by the Admissions Representative how much you owe. If you are not paying on the day of registration, be sure to find out from them how much you owe and the due date. You may be dropped for non-payment of fees. You will be billed for any fees that you do not pay when you register. If you have a balance due, you will be sent an eBill notification to you UA email address.

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

Paying your bill

1. Pay any fees that are due.
2. You need to pay your bill by 4 p.m. on the day of registration.
3. If you do not pay your bill, you may be withdrawn from your classes for non-payment. If you have decided not to attend, you must withdraw from the course. If you do not drop your classes, and have a balance due, you will be sent an eBill notification to your UA email address. If those bills are not paid, your account will be turned over to the Ohio Attorney General. We cannot retroactively withdraw you from your course if it goes to the Ohio Attorney General.

Under this credit option, income-eligible Sixty-Plus participants may enroll for 11 or fewer credits exempt from payment of tuition and general service fees.  Sixty-Plus students will be expected to pay for any books, laboratory or instructional fees and parking, if needed.

2. An income level which meets the stated guidelines and is approved by the Sixty-Plus staff.

In addition, income-eligible Sixty-Plus students seeking credit must declare the credit choice at the time of registration.  Credit requested on a retroactive basis will be denied.  In order to receive credit, a Sixty-Plus applicant must meet all admissions criteria for matriculation into the degree program of choice, including a high school diploma or GED.
