It’s never too late for seniors to learn - JOYANNA WEBER, Cleveland Daily Banner

“For all of public higher education in Tennessee there is a senior citizen discount available for those persons who are 60 or older,” Vice President for Academic Affairs Jerry Faulkner said. “They can audit any class for free, and if they want to take it for credit once they reach 65 it’s $70 a semester. They can take as many classes as they want to in that semester.” The application process for these students is the same as for any other student, except they cannot register until the first day of classes. Faulkner said students can still usually get into the classes they want. The school is seeing an increasing number of these nontraditional students take classes for credit.
