Loyola offers free courses to senior citizens

At Loyola, senior citizens have two unique options for enrolling in college.

The Loyola Reflective Age Program enables individuals 62-1/2 years of age or older to take tuition-free college courses on a non-degree program basis. To enroll, applicants must bring a driver's license or state identification card to the Office of Admissions, where they are required to fill out a one-page application. Participants in this program may only register for classes during late registration and are admitted to classes on a space available basis. For more information on the Reflective Age Program, contact the Office of Admissions at ext. 3240.

The Rosa Keller Campus is available at eight metropolitan universities and allows individuals 65 years and older to take tuition-free courses in four week periods. The program develops its own non-credit fields of study using university faculty. All applications are handled through the Rosa Keller Campus. For more information on the Rosa Keller Campus, contact Cecile Brookover, co-director at 280-6168.
