Senior discounts

seniors

Oregon residents 62 and older may be eligible for free or discounted tuition. The pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong process!

Credit classes

Seniors get free tuition for credit classes taken for an audit grade. The tuition waiver does not cover class fees. Classes can be audited only if there are still seats available on the first day of class, so space is not guaranteed.

  1. If you haven’t taken a class at PCC in the last year, apply for admission before the application deadline for your term. (If you’ve taken a class recently, skip to step 3.)
    Term you want to start Application deadline
    Fall 2024 (September) Wednesday, September 11
    Winter 2025 (January) Wednesday, December 18
    Spring 2025 (April) Wednesday, March 19
    Summer 2025 (June) Wednesday, June 11
  2. Once you have been admitted and have a G# (student ID), complete the online orientation, then set up your MyPCC account and PCC email.
  3. Find the class you’d like to take in the class schedule, but don’t register! We’ll take care of that for you. Registrations completed directly by the student are not eligible for a discount.
  4. Contact the instructor to request approval.
    • User your PCC email account to contact the instructor.
    • Request permission to join their class as a senior audit.
    • Include your G number and the 5 digit CRN for the class.
    • If approved, the instructor will forward notification to enroll@pcc.edu.
    • Enrollment Services will confirm within 5 days and complete your registration on the first day of class.
  5. After the tuition waiver has been applied to your account, log in to MyPCC and pay any fees not covered by the waiver.

Community Ed classes

Seniors get a 50% discount on tuition for Community Ed classes. The discount does not apply to class fees. The discount does not cover Ed2Go courses. Limited grants are available to those unable to afford the reduced tuition rates – to apply for a grant, contact Sharon Mouton-Sibley at 971-722-2886.

  1. Sign up for your class (see how to register).
  2. Contact Student Account Services and request a senior discount. The discount will be applied to your account the following day. The discount will be applied to the current and future terms (past terms will not be adjusted).
  3. After the discount has been applied, log in to MyPCC and pay any fees not covered by the discount.
