MSU 62 - Nondegree Adult Student Fee Waiver Program
Registration for the Spring 2024 semester has ended. We hope to see you in the fall!
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), 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.

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
