A. Georgia law allows Georgians 62 years or older to attend public colleges and universities for free. Individuals can enroll to audit courses, take individual classes or seek a degree, where space is available, according to the University System of Georgia, which oversees the state’s public colleges and universities. The rule excludes dental, medical, veterinary or law schools from the free tuition program. Individuals must be 62 or older at the time of registration, and in most cases, meet system and institution undergraduate or graduate admission requirements.
