General Information
As a US citizen and a Florida resident 60 years of age or older, you may attend Florida
Gulf Coast University undergraduate courses tuition-free on an audit basis, if space is
available. Florida Residency for tuition or waiver purposes is attained when you have
lived in the state of Florida for twelve (12) consecutive months immediately prior to the
first day of classes. Three forms of identification are required to verify Florida
residency. Your Florida Driver's license, your Florida Voter's identification card, and
vehicle registration(s) are documents required for review at the time of registration.
Please contact our office for other acceptable state official documents.
Classroom space for Senior Citizen 60+ students audit registration is based on
availability after degree seeking students’ registration has passed. If a course is full,
verbal communication from an instructor is not suffice to register to a course. A
signature from your instructor(s) will be needed on your Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver
form to be registered. This form will need to be brought in to the Office of the Registrar
during the first week of classes of any term with one form of ID.
Courses are held at the location indicated in the online class schedule on
GULFLINE. Since space is limited, please plan alternatives to your first choices. All of
the courses offered during a term by FGCU are found on the Course Schedule link on
GULFLINE (http://gulfline.fgcu.edu). For a clear description of the course, click on the
link under Gulfline titled Course Description.

Auditing Etiquette
To audit means to listen. The extent of participation in classroom discussion will be
established by the individual instructor. The interests of the tuition-paying students must
remain primary.
When auditing a class, please be courteous and considerate of the students who are taking
the class for credit.
Please do not invite or encourage guest to attend classes with you.
