Emeritus Scholarship
(for Washtenaw County residents age 65 or older)
To qualify for an Emeritus Scholarship, you must:
- Have In-District residency status per the WCC residency policy
- Be 65 years old as of May 7, 2012
- Enroll in any non-credit class during regular registration times
- Enroll in any credit class that has seats available on April 30; note the registration guidelines below
Does it pay for all classes and costs?
- For non-credit classes, it covers tuition only. Other class fees must be paid by the student.
- For credit classes, it covers tuition, any contact-hour fees and the technology/enrollment fee only. It does not cover PEA 115 or any other fees.
New Emeritus Students
- Make an in-person visit to the Student Connection with your driver's license or state-issued photo ID if you are a first-time recipient taking a non-credit class.
- Verify that the Student Connection or MyWCC lists your date of birth if you are a credit student.
To Register for Non-credit Classes
Register any time that non-credit registration is open. Note that the Emeritus Scholarship does not apply to mandatory fees.
To Register for Credit Classes
Option 1: If you want to be sure the Emeritus Scholarship will apply to your class, register beginning April 30.
Choose from the courses available and we'll apply the Emeritus Scholarship — no payment required.
Option 2: If you're willing to pay for the class to secure a seat, even if the Emeritus Scholarship may not apply, you can register before April 30. But, you must pay by the payment deadline so you're not dropped. Here's how WCC determines whether the Emeritus Scholarship will apply to your class:
- The Emeritus Scholarship will be awarded retroactively if the class is not full on April 30. The College will issue you a refund later in May.
- If your class fills by April 30, the College will not award the Emeritus Scholarship for that class, even if a seat opens later. Check your WCC email after 4:00pm on April 30 to find out. You can:
- Stay in the class and not receive a refund of your payment.
- Drop by the deadline and receive a refund later in May.
- Register for another class that is not full. Call the Cashier (734-973-3485) by 4:00pm the day you register to ask that the Emeritus Scholarship be applied to that class, so that you're not dropped for non-payment.
