Pursuant to the provisions of the Georgia Constitution, the University
System established the following rules with respect to enrollment of
persons 62 years of age or older in units of the University System. To be
eligible for enrollment under this provision such persons:
-
Must be residents of Georgia, 62
years of age or older at the time of registration, and shall present a
birth certificate or other comparable written documentation of age to
enable the institution to determine eligibility.
-
May enroll as a regular or
auditing student in courses offered for resident credit on a “space
available” basis without payment of fees, except for supplies,
laboratory or shop fees.
-
Shall meet all System and
institution undergraduate or graduate admission requirements; however,
institutions may exercise discretion in exceptional cases where
circumstances indicate that certain requirements such as high school
graduation and minimum test scores are inappropriate. In those instances
involving discretionary admission, institutions will provide diagnostic
methods to determine whether or not participation in Learning Support
will be required prior to enrollment in regular credit courses.
Reasonable prerequisites may be required in certain courses.
-
Shall have all usual student and
institutional records maintained; however, institutions will not report
such students for budgetary purposes.
-
Must meet all System,
institution, and legislated degree requirements, if they are
degree-seeking students.
