Life Long Learner
Since 1981, East Stroudsburg University has offered the opportunity for senior citizens to enroll in courses tuition-free.
Undergraduate Application Process
To qualify, you must be a legal resident of Pennsylvania, sixty years of age or older and retired (i.e., not presently engaged in full-time employment).
Under this program, senior citizens are limited to a maximum of six credits (usually two courses) per semester in a non-degree status. The non-degree application can be completed online.
If you plan to take more than six credits or enroll as a degree-seeking student, you are not eligible for the senior citizen tuition waiver.
Registration for classes is done on a "space available" basis. That is, after all other degree-seeking students have had the opportunity to register, senior citizens may sign up.
Please address your envelope as indicated below:

Graduate Application Process
If you have a bachelor's degree and wish to take graduate courses, please do not complete this application.
The Graduate School has a senior citizen application for those interested in higher-level courses. Senior citizens must submit a Special Status application for each semester. Contact grads@esu.edu should you have questions or need assistance.
After course registration, you will receive a bill for tuition and fees.
The billing statement must be returned to the Business Office with the notation "Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver".
