Throughout Maryland's <em>public </em> colleges, seniors can take up to three courses Fall semester and again Spring semester for a comparative pittance. Basically, if people over 60,I believe it is, can demonstrate that we have our own health coverage so we can opt out of student health services, all we pay is the student activities fee, $300-some, plus any lab fee tied to a specific course such as biology or piano, and if we need a parking pass, that not-small fee. This includes both undergrad or grad courses, in-person, hybrid, and remote, degree or non-degree. . We can opt to audit, to pass-fail, or to receive letter grading. The two tricky bits are that many courses have qualifications such as (but not limited to) prerequisites, and that we only get to register on Day 3, for slots left open by regularly enrolled students. A wonderfrul bonus, and the initial reason I signed up for what Maryland calls the Golden ID program, is full use of the university library system, including reference librarians with specialized topic expertise--plus super ILL. So I say hurrah for Goucher, and lots more is available.
