If you just want to take one or two undergraduate courses of interest or you missed the undergraduate admission application deadline for the semester, you may want to apply as a Nondegree-Seeking student. The credits you earn can be applied towards a degree after changing your status to degree-seeking.

If you have never attended college, congratulations on taking this big step!

Idaho residents who are at least 65 years old may audit classes for no charge. Senior citizens who enroll in classes for credit will be charged full price.

Senior citizens who want to audit classes need to first apply and be admitted to the university. After admission, students auditing a class can register for classes at the open enrollment date as space permits.

The senior citizen rate does not apply to the self-supporting programs and noncredit programs (like the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute). The Senior Citizen Rate is based on course availability.

Students are automatically enrolled into the discount program upon turning 65, using the birth date in our system. The age of 65 must be reached prior to the start of the term in which you are enrolling.

For more information please see the Boise State Policy website and our Senior Citizen FAQ page.
