Senior Passport Program

The Senior Passport Program is available to citizens who are at least 65 years of age. Senior learners may attend and "sit in" on undergraduate courses (courses numbered 1000 - 4999) on a space-available basis and with the instructor's permission. Online courses are not available for Passport learners.

Passport learners may attend up to two classes per semester for a once-per-year, non-refundable $25 fee. Your year begins at the time your first class is attended.

Senior Passport Program Guidelines

  • Non-refundable fee is $25 per year and covers a maximum of 2 classes per semester.
  • Limited to undergraduate classes on a space-available basis.
  • Citizens 65 years of age and over are eligible.
  • Instructor permission is required for all classes.
  • Not eligible to take online classes or receive any UNO services.
  • Participants who would like to have access to campus technology, including Canvas, and other digital tools or services that may be used in the course that requires a user to log in, are invited to enroll or audit courses.
  • The passport learner is intended to be a passive learner. Any active participation is at the discretion of the instructor and the instructor may terminate the participation of a learner for any reason.
  • Senior Passport learners are expected to adhere to the UNO Student Code of Conduct.
