    For the University of Georgia the FAQ on Fees and Tuition only listed the waiver of fees for seniors. I had a hard time getting to a person who was knowledgeable (they all seemed to be looking at the FAQ). Finally I found the right person, who will try to get the FAQ fixed. The webpage that gives more detailed information is under Policies, http://www.reg.uga.edu/registration/person_62_or_older. You have to go through the regular enrollment application process and be admitted in order to qualify.

No academic credit shall be awarded for attendance in classes for which fees are waived under this subsection. This privilege may be granted only on a space-available basis, if such classes are not filled as of the close of registration. A university may limit or deny the privilege for courses which are in programs for which the Board of Governors has established selective admissions criteria. Persons paying full fees and state employees taking courses on a space-available basis shall have priority over those persons whose fees are waived in all cases where classroom spaces are limited."
