Plan 60 Option | Greenville Technical College

Plan 60 Option

Any legal resident of South Carolina, age 60 and older, who is not employed full-time, may attend most curriculum or continuing education classes on a space-available basis* tuition free (fees and books cost extra) with the Plan 60 option. This applies only if the class has reached its minimum enrollment and has spaces available (S.C. Law 59-111-320). NOTE: Some licensing courses, vendor agreement courses and authorized training courses will not apply.

Because Plan 60 is a tuition-only waiver program, students are responsible for paying the student fee, technology fee and books/materials fees. Plan 60 covers tuition that is not paid by a third party. If a student is eligible for Pell or Lottery Tuition Assistance, Plan 60 will cover the remainder.

*Space-Available Basis: Those wishing to take advantage of this policy must wait to register the work day before a one-day seminar or the first day of class for a multi-day class.

If you choose to register with payment, you are no longer eligible for Plan 60 registration and the normal withdrawal and refund policy would apply.
