North Carolina

This is a comprehensive guide for all senior citizen tuition waivers, discounts, and auditable classes in the state of North Carolina.  I am working hard to get the information up-to-date covering all fifty states, which is quite a feat.  To stay informed on all free classes for seniors near me, check back often for the most recent updates.

Senior Citizens – G.S. 115D-5(b) has been amended (S.L. 2010-31, Sec. 8.4(a)) amended to change eligibility for a senior citizen tuition waiver for community colleges from 96 contact hours to one course. Note: based on this amendment, senior citizens age 65 or older who are qualified as legal residents of North Carolina are now eligible for a waiver of tuition charges for up to six hours of credit instruction and one noncredit instruction per academic semester at community colleges.

This tuition waiver is only available at community college campuses; there is no tuition waiver for persons age 65 or older enrolled at constituent institutions of The University of North Carolina.  If no tuition waiver information is found, you should still contact the community college and inquire about this law.

    Republican-dominated North Carolina legislature ELIMINATED tuition waver for the state's senior citizens as of July 1, 2013. Thus, this webpage is obsolete.

      I will check again but I am pretty sure you can audit courses at UNC and take a certain amount of for credit courses at the community colleges.
