Community College of Allegheny County has a program for seniors who are
65+ years old and residents of Allegheny Co. Qualified residents may
attend classes for almost free. A very small activity fee is all that
you pay per course. You may take up to 2 courses per semester for either
a grade ( must follow all course requirements) or as an audit ( no grade
given...class taken for knowledge but course requirements don't apply,
student has freedom!) This is a terrific benefit and many seniors enjoy
this program.
