Tuition-free
degree completion for Delaware residents over age 60
The Over-60
Tuition Free Degree Program reflects the University of Delaware's
effort to encourage adult students to continue their studies
on either a part-time or full-time basis. To be eligible for
free undergraduate or graduate tuition, Delaware citizens
aged 60 or over must apply for admission to the University
and be admitted. Students 60 or over taking classes as
Continuing Education students are not eligible.
Registration
for classes through the Over-60 Tuition Free Degree Program
takes place on a space-available basis. Participants are responsible
for buying their own books and for paying late registration
charges and fees for other services.
Undergraduate
admissions
Application
for admission should be made as soon as possible for the upcoming
semester, as the admissions process may take six to eight
weeks after receipt of all required application materials.
- For
fall admission, May or June would not be too
soon to submit your application materials.
- Those
applying for undergraduate admission to the University through
the over-60 tuition-free degree program are not
required to take SATs.
- If
you have completed any prior college work
(anytime, anywhere), request that your official transcript(s)
from the institution(s) be sent directly to the undergraduate
Admissions Office. If you have no prior college work, a
high school record or any available academic background
information will be of help when the Admissions Office reviews
your application.

the same fees as all other admitted students
with the exception of the following:
