Tuition/fee waivers for seniors are available on a space-available basis for persons 60 years of age or older, and who have been a Massachusetts resident for at least one year prior to the start of the current semester. Registration for students using the waiver starts two weeks before the first day of classes for each semester/session. Students may register early by opting out of using the waiver. If you choose not to use the waiver, you will be registered for your class(es) at the full tuition and fee rates without needing to wait for the space-available deadline; however, if you subsequently drop the class(es), you will not be able to then use the waiver to register for additional, different class(es) that semester. A senior waiver may be applied to a course only one time. If you are repeating a course you have previously enrolled in using a senior waiver you will need to pay full tuition and fees regardless of whether you withdrew from or audited the course. Also, please note our Course Repeat Policy prevents all students from repeating a class more than twice regardless of payment method. Senior Waiver – For students who do not have a bachelor's degree; tuition and 50% of College service fee waived, all other fees paid by student. Institutional Senior Fee Waiver – For students who have a bachelor's degree or higher; 50% of College service fee waived, tuition and all other fees paid by student. If you are not matriculated in a degree or certificate program, request a senior waiver when you complete the Guest Student Registration Form (for help email admission@gcc.mass.edu). Degree and certificate-seeking students need to work with their advisor/coach or the Advising Center to register for classes and request a waiver. Questions about the waiver, bill and payment should be emailed to sfs@gcc.mass.edu. A waiver requested must be submitted every semester.
