Fee Waiver for California Residents Sixty Years of Age or Older

"The California State University and Colleges recognizes that an increasing number of older people are returning to higher education to enrich their lives and, therefore, introduced the 60 Plus plan."

What is the 60 Plus Program?

• The 60 plus program is a fee waiver program available to qualified persons who are California residents, and are 60 years of age or older.
• The program is designed to encourage California residents, 60 years of age or older, to enroll in regular session courses on a space available basis.

Who is Eligible?

• Students already enrolled or who are eligible to enroll in classes at Cal State Fullerton are automatically eligible for the program.
• Students who are 60 years of age or older.
• Students who have been a California resident for at least one year.

How do I qualify?

Will I have priority enrollment?

Do I have to pursue a degree?

• The 60 plus program is available to any CSUF student who has an interest in available CSUF courses for which the student is academically prepared.
