Senior Aviator Fee Waiver 

Arkansas residents who are 60 years of age or older ("senior citizens") are encouraged to enroll tuition-free in existing for-credit courses based on the availability of space. College courses engage older learners in challenging and intellectually stimulating programs, and Senior Aviators lend wisdom and experience to traditional students in an academic environment. Visit or call the Office of the Registrar today for more details about becoming a Senior Aviator.

Qualifications 

• An Arkansas resident;

• At least 60 years of age on the last day of regular registration for the term the waiver will be applied;
