INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN TUITION WAIVER
The following instructions are very important and MUST be followed to successfully apply for the
senior citizen waiver for audit or the senior citizen waiver for credit. If you have questions concerning
this process, please forward all inquiries to the Admissions and Advising Center PRIOR to submitting
this form. Contact admissions@pvcc.edu or 434.961.6581. Thank you!
Submit an application for admission to PVCC. This is done online at www.pvcc.edu
On the application for admission, you MUST apply for in-state tuition. Any student considered to be out-of-state
is NOT eligible for the senior citizen waiver.
Submit this form to the Admissions and Advising Center (M144). Approvals for senior citizen tuition waivers
and audits are completed AFTER the last day to add a course as noted on the College’s Academic Calendar.
Anyone applying for the senior citizen waiver MAY NOT enroll themselves. Enrollment in the course is done by
the Registrar’s Office only if the class is not full. The applicant will be notified by the academic division of the final
decision. APPLICANTS MAY ATTEND CLASS ONLY AFTER BEING APPROVED AND NOTIFIED BY THE
ACADEMIC DIVISION.
Attach the following documentation to this form prior to submitting:
o Provide proof of age.
o If you want to take the class FOR CREDIT (receive a grade) with a WAIVER OF TUITION, prior year’s
state income tax form to document income does not exceed $23,850.

Select one: I will take this class for CREDIT. (Student must prove income does not exceed $23,850 by attaching most
recent Virginia income tax return)
I will AUDIT this class. (No grade earned, no income provision)
To be eligible for free tuition for courses for CREDIT or AUDIT, I certify that:

• I have applied and have been admitted to the College.
• I am, as of this day, 60 years of age or older. My birth date is ________________________. (Proof of age must be provided.)

I hereby certify that I am qualified for free tuition for courses under the Senior Citizens’ Higher Education Act of 1974 for this academic
year. I understand that fee-paying students must be accommodated first according to state law, and that I may be dropped from my class
should another fee-paying student wish to enroll in it. I understand that I do not enroll myself in the class and I do not attend the class nor
have access to Canvas until the registrar completes enrollment AFTER the last day to add. As a senior citizen, I may choose to register
and pay for a class to guarantee a seat; however, I may not subsequently change to tuition-free status for that semester.
