65 and Over Tuition-Free Audit Program
Kansas residents 65 years of age and over may audit credit courses at Washburn University without paying University tuition, University fees, or activities fee charges. Being able to audit a course is subject to availability of class space and to the enrollment of a specified minimum number of fee paying students. The costs of materials and/or textbooks are the responsibility of the auditor.
Auditors are not required to prepare homework assignments or take examinations. They may participate in classroom discussion and laboratory and field work. No college credit will be awarded for courses, thus no transcripts will be generated. Auditors are expected to follow University rules and regulations regarding parking, library privileges, and other appropriate university regulations.
Auditors must be at least 65 years old on or before the first day of the semester/term in which the class is taught and need to be prepared to have their birth date verified by showing a driver's license or birth certificate when they register. Registration forms will be processed only after the majority of fee paying students have enrolled which enables the identification of classes that have space available.
By filling out a non-degree seeking application, auditors may apply in the Office of Admissions, and then they will enroll through the University Registrar's Office. Registration instructions are available in the Registration Information Guide for each semester/term under the title "65 Years of Age and Over Audit Program".
