Tuition Waiver for North Carolina Residents at Least 65 Years of Age

If you are a North Carolina resident who is at least 65 years of age at the start of the academic semester, you may be eligible for a tuition waiver. More information (including a waiver form) may be downloaded here (requires Adobe Reader ). The regulations are as follows:

1. To be eligible for the tuition waiver for a particular semester, quarter, term or
   other recognized division of the academic calendar, the individual requesting
   such waiver of tuition must have attained the age of 65 prior to the
   commencement of such academic term.
2. The legal residence of an individual requesting such waiver of tuition shall be
   determined in accordance with the provision of A Manual To Assist the Public
   Higher Education Institutions of North Carolina in the Matter of Residence
   Classification for Tuition Purposes, as originally adopted by the Board of
   Governors in July, 1973, and as most recently amended on July 21, 1975,
   viz., the individual must establish that he or she had maintained a North
   Carolina domicile for a period of at least twelve months prior to the particular
   academic term of proposed matriculation.
3. The determination of whether admission of an individual seeking tuition
   waiver under the terms of the statute can be accommodated, consistent with
   consideration of "space available”, shall be made by the institution.
4. Determination of an individual's satisfaction of the prerequisites of age and
   legal residence shall be the responsibility of the University; the institution may
   require such types and sources of proof of age and legal residence as may be
   deemed appropriate.
5. The tuition waiver is not applicable to enrollment in non-credit continuing
   education courses.
6. “Tuition” shall mean the amount charged for registering for a credit hour of
   instruction and shall not be construed to mean any other fees or charges or
   costs of textbooks. However, nonacademic fees will not be charged and
   students enrolled under the tuition-waiver will not be entitled to the services,
   facilities, activities and programs supported by these fees.
7. Applicants must not pre register for courses they desire to attend on a space
   available basis without payment of tuition.
