Exemption of Student Tuition and Fees
Residents of Georgia who are 62 years of age or older who are otherwise qualified may attend Ogeechee Technical College without payment of tuition on a space-available basis. This policy applies to regular and institutional credit courses only. It does not apply to continuing education courses, non-credit courses, or seminars. Persons seeking this waiver must meet all other admissions requirements as specified in this handbook. Proof of age must be presented at registration.
Adult Education students attending the adult basic education programs shall not be charged tuition nor be required to purchase any books or other materials that are needed for participation in the program. GED testing fees, however, must be covered by the student. The cost is $40 for each part of the test. The total cost for the four-part test will be $160. Students who wish to test must visit www.ged.com to register and schedule their exam.
Students who are enrolled solely in courses offered online or who otherwise do not utilize campus facilities shall not be charged the student activity fee.
Tuition and fees for all dual-enrolled high school students, up to the amount not covered by HOPE, may be exempted.
Note: All requests for waivers of tuition and/or fees are to be submitted to the President on a term-by-term basis.
