Good as Gold 
(60 years of age and higher)

As a community service, Columbus State offers senior citizens who are 60 years of age or older the opportunity to enroll in credit courses, tuition free, on a space-available basis. To register for credit courses applicable to an Associate Degree, senior citizens pay a one-time matriculation fee of $50, course lab fees, and the cost of books.

Senior citizens are also admitted to special courses on a tuition- free, space-available basis once the course is financially self-supporting. Lab fees, books and instructional supplies are assessed to senior citizens as required by other students. Courtesy parking permits are provided at no cost to senior citizens. Student rates to concerts and student activities are available to enrolled senior citizens. A "Good as Gold Educational Program" identification card is issued to all enrolled senior citizens upon request.

If you have not completed college level algebra and/or college level English, you may need to take the COMPASS placement test to assess your skills in reading, writing, and mathematics before registering for particular courses. 

For information regarding programs and services, please call 287-2453 (or 1-800-621-6407 if calling long distance).
