College Park participates in the University of Maryland's Golden Identification
Card Program. This program allows eligible senior citizens to take advantage
of the wide variety of course offerings at College Park. To be eligible
for participation the individual must:
- be 60 years of age or older
- a legal resident of the State of Maryland
- retired (not engaged in gainful employment for more than 20 hours a
week).
Application is made through the Office of either Undergraduate or Graduate
Admissions. The appropriate application fee will be assessed. College Park
tuition is waived. A fee of *$178.50 is charged each semester. This fee
is the same fee that is charged to all part-time undergraduate students
less the health, student activities, and athletic fees.
Golden ID students register on a space available basis for a maximum
of three courses during the first week of classes. Golden ID students must
meet all course prerequisite and co-requisite requirements. The Golden
Identification Card with a current semester registration card will entitle
eligible persons to certain academic services, including the use of the
libraries, as well as certain other non-academic services. Such services
will be available during any session only to persons who have registered
for one or more courses for that session. Golden ID students are not eligible
for Consortium courses or Continuing Education.
Golden ID students also have the opportunity to become involved with
the Golden ID Student Association which provides cultural and social events,
course recommendations, and peer advising. Additional information may be
obtained from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, Mitchell Building,
314-8385, or the Golden ID Student Program, first floor, Mitchell Bldg.
314-8219.
