What is Emeritus?
While older adults can enroll in any of Dallas College’s 11,000 courses per semester, the Emeritus Program was designed to promote the life-long learning of our 55+ community through a range of
specific academic and personal enrichment courses that are customized just for older adults.
65+ Tuition Exemption
Dallas County residents who are 65 or older are eligible for a tuition exemption for up to 6 college credits per semester.
That’s six college credits* for free, each semester**!

“Based on my and other seniors’ beneficial experiences with participation in the program, we are motivated to have a lifelong focus of staying physically, mentally, socially and structurally engaged in the community college.”
