Senior Citizen Fee Remission

Senior Citizen Fee Remission

In accordance with Indiana state law, a senior citizen is eligible for a fee remission at Indiana University if the individual is admitted to an Indiana University campus and meets the following criteria:

• is at least 60 years of age;
• is retired;
• is not employed on a full time basis;
• is an Indiana resident; and
• has graduated high school, received a general equivalency degree or a state of Indiana general educational development (GED) diploma.

This fee remission will be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Indiana resident tuition and will not exceed nine credit hours a semester. All associated mandatory, program, course/class fees are the responsibility of the student. In addition, the fee remission is not retroactive and cannot apply to previous terms.

Students who wish to take advantage of this fee remission must complete the Senior Citizen Fee Remission Request for each term for which the fee remission is requested. Students must register through self-service before turning in this form.

Registration is on a space-available basis and students taking advantage of the senior citizen fee waiver are prohibited from registering for classes prior to three days before the start of classes for the term. Students who would like to take advantage of priority registration are not eligible for the senior citizen fee waiver and are fully responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of their tuition and fees.

Here's what to do

Senior citizens who wish to apply for the fee remission must:

1. Complete the full application for admission and be offered admission to the campus where they would like to take courses.
2. Create their IU Computing Accounts and establish an IU email address.
3. Register for their classes through self-service options beginning with three days before the start of classes for the term through noon on Friday of the first week of classes.
4. Complete and sign the Senior Citizen Fee Remission Request Form, attach a printed copy of their class schedule, attach a copy of their driver's license, and submit using our secure contact form, with topic Update Residency, before noon on Friday of the first week of classes. This process must be completed each semester the student requests the senior citizen fee remission.
