Ivy Tech Community College is offering qualified Indiana senior citizens an opportunity to enroll in credit courses at the College free of charge. Under Ivy Tech's "Senior Scholars" program, Indiana residents 60 years of age and older can enroll in courses at Ivy Tech tuition free.

Ordinarily, Ivy Tech tuition is $91.30 per credit hour, so Senior Scholars can save more than $270 per 3-credit class at Ivy Tech's rates! The only fee you'll be assessed is a $40 technology fee each semester plus books or materials that might be required. So, the more classes you take, the more you save.

Qualifications
Ivy Tech Senior Scholar candidates must be:

• An Indiana resident
• At least 60 years of age
• A high school graduate or GED recipient
• Retired from their primary vocation
• Not employed full time

Course Options
The Senior Scholars program extends to Ivy Tech's wide array of credit course offerings. The College currently offers more than 2,000 courses in six divisions: Arts and Design, Business, General Education, Health Sciences, Public Services, and Technology. Not all courses are available at each location.

Specific course information and availability are detailed in the College Catalog.

Distance Education
Senior Scholars also can take a course delivered by distance education or through the Internet. Classes are delivered via satellite from one college or university campus to learning centers located throughout Indiana, many of which are on Ivy Tech campuses. The College also delivers courses directly to student homes via cable television, public broadcasting, video tapes or the Internet.

Other Information
The Senior Scholars program applies to credit courses only. Classes must be taken for a letter grade; Senior Scholars may not audit classes. Non-credit courses and special training programs offered by the College's Corporate and Continuing Education Services (CCES) are not eligible.

While tuition is free, students will still be responsible for books and supplies; some specialized courses may also involve a fee for consumable materials.

In addition, some courses require a prerequisite, which must be met before enrollment is permitted. Enrollment may also be restricted in some courses which are part of a degree program.

The college reserves the right to cancel or change courses based upon demand or other circumstances.
