Illinois Senior Citizen Courses Act

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 in the Illinois Cares Rx BASIC program. You must meet regular class expectations to earn academic credit.

Please complete the Senior Citizens Tuition Waiver Application and submit to the office of Financial Assistance.
