Senior Citizen Audit/Credit Opportunity
Any resident of Butler County who is at least sixty-two years old (proof of age required)
may enroll in credit classes at the College on a space available basis without paying
tuition, required fees, or an application fee. However, they must still complete an
Application for Admission. At the time of registration, the student must indicate if they
wish to take audited or credit courses. Senior citizens may register for available classes
on the last day before classes begin. Audit students have the right to attend class, but do
not take tests, submit term papers, or receive grades. Students receive an electronic grade
report at the end of the semester indicating audit or a grade if taken for credit. Any
additional expenses associated with the course such as books and other instructional
materials are incurred by the student.
Graduation
All students must apply for graduation before the advertised deadline of February 15 for
May graduation, June 15 for August graduation, and September 15 for December
graduation. Students must complete an application for graduation available in the Office
of Records and Registration. There is a non-refundable $40 fee for each degree.
Applications received after the deadline will be assessed an additional $25. If a student
applies for graduation after leaving the college for two calendar years or longer, the
student must fulfill graduation requirements in the program planner and catalog current in
the semester the student applies for graduation.
Graduation Participation for Students Who Have Not Completed All Requirements

College summer session by April 1. In order to participate, however, students must have
