GSU-62 Program
The GSU-62 Program at Georgia State University enables Georgia residents who are 62 or older to resume, continue or even begin their college education at a substantially reduced cost. This program is part of a statewide effort on behalf of older persons as directed by Amendment 23 to the Georgia constitution, and approved by the Regents of the University System of Georgia. The program is designed to allow eligible applicants to register for college-level courses for credit or audit (same requirements as for credit), on a space-available basis subject to requirements listed below:

Registration
To receive the waiver of tuition and fees, GSU-62 applicants are required to register during late registration on a space available basis. Check the online registration calendar for the semester for which you will be registering to determine the first date of late registration. Any classes registered for in regular registration will not be covered by the waiver and will be the responsibility of the registrant.
No tuition and fees will be assessed for classes enrolled in during late registration, except for supplies or laboratory fees. The applicant will be responsible for all student fees associated with obtaining a Georgia State University identification card (PantherCard). All usual student and institutional records will be maintained.
The GSU-62 waiver can include graduate studies with the exception of the College of Law. Contact the appropriate graduate office for application information and deadlines.
