SENIOR CITIZEN TUITION WAIVER / CERTIFICATION FORM
The state of Florida allows public universities to waive tuition for persons 60 years of age or older who are residents
of the state of Florida and who attend credit level or developmental education classes (F.S.1009.26 4). Valencia
College extends this same opportunity to those who meet the criteria described in statute and who wish to take
college level or developmental courses at the college. This privilege is granted on a space-available basis only and
does not include continuing education courses. Moreover, persons using this waiver may only audit their courses
and may not be awarded grades or academic credit.
The admissions application fee and other special fees
(music practice fees, insurance fees, technology fees, laboratory fees, etc.) are not waived.
Students who wish to take advantage of the above policy agree to the following:
1. Registration will be on a space-available basis only. The registration date for students wishing to use this waiver
is noted on the Important Dates & Deadlines calendar on the Valencia College website.
2. Senior Citizens registering under this provision are governed by the same rules and regulations as all other
students and may take
advantage of the same services and activities provided for all students.

you will be charged tuition.
4. Because all courses must be taken as an audit, Financial Aid is not available.
