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

Note: if you’re taking a non-credit class, follow the steps on the next tab for Community Ed classes.

Seniors may audit and receive 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! Registrations completed directly by the student are not eligible for the discount.
  4. Submit the form to request approval to audit the class:
    Senior audit discount request
  5. If the instructor approves the request, we will register you on the first day of class and the discount will be applied to your account overnight. After the discount has been applied, log in to MyPCC and pay any remaining amount.

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.
