The Penn State Schuylkill Go-60 program offers tuition-free enrollment into undergraduate credit courses.

Guidelines for the Go-60 program include:

  • Students must be at least 60 years old.
  • Students must be retired or working less than half-time (twenty hours or less).
  • Students must be Pennsylvania residents.
  • Participants of Go-60 are permitted to enroll in undergraduate credit course(s) on a "space-available basis" only.
  • The program does not apply to credit courses taken that are audited or are taken as satisfactory/unsatisfactory.
  • The program does not apply to noncredit courses/workshops, certificate programs, conferences, and other activities offered through Penn State Continuing Education.
  • Tuition-free enrollment in the Go-60 program applies only to the courses numbered 001 through 399. Any 400 or higher level courses may be taken at the current tuition rate. 
  • The Go-60 tuition-free enrollment benefit is limited to six credits per semester. Additional credits may be taken at the current tuition rate. Students must meet any course prerequisites and follow established rules, regulations, and procedures applicable to all students.
  • These courses are non-degree only.
  • Students receiving the Go-60 tuition benefit will not be eligible for any other campus-based scholarship programs.
