Senior Citizen Rate
Idaho residents who are at least 65 years old may audit classes for no charge. Those taking classes for credit will be charged full price.
To audit a class, you must first apply and be admitted to Boise State University as a nondegree student. After admission, you may register for classes during open enrollment date as space permits. The senior citizen rate does not apply to the self-supporting programs or noncredit programs (like the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute).
Eligible students are automatically enrolled in the discount program based on their birth date in our system. You must be 65 prior to the start of the term in which you are enrolling.
