MSU 62 - Nondegree Adult Student Fee Waiver Program

Fall registration begins Thursday, August 13, 2026. We hope you join us! 

Free tuition for citizens age 62 or older through MSU 62

Missouri State University is pleased to offer a special fee waiver program for adults who are 62 years of age or older. Eligible students may register for one class per fall and spring semester and have the required student fees waived. However, the student must pay special course fees, required textbooks and supplies (including digital course material charges, such as StreamlinED - see more in our FAQs below), and parking fees. Classes may be taken for credit or on an audit basis.

Participants in this program will be admitted to Missouri State University as nondegree-seeking students. The MSU 62 registration takes place on the Thursday morning before the semester begins. Enrollment for courses is subject to “seats available” and the required prerequisites. Students must submit the registration forms each semester they plan to utilize the waiver.

Qualifying students in this classification are:

  • Missouri resident (living in the state of Missouri for 12 or more months)
  • Age 62 or older
  • Nondegree-seeking students
  • Enrolling in either undergraduate or graduate courses (if postbaccalaureate)
  • Not able to apply this waiver to intersession, special courses, noncredit, or off-campus courses

You can search for courses ahead of time with the Class Schedule Search. You can also use this time to seek special permission from instructors if necessary.

Getting Started:

  1. Verify your eligibility using the requirements listed above.
  2. Use the Class Schedule Search to explore available courses and select the course you would like to take.
  3. Fill out the form to register for classes either in person at the registration event or online during the designated registration period. The registration form does not open until August 13, 2026. See the information below for registration dates, instructions, and available registration options.
