For more than three quarters of a century, Mesa State College has been dedicated to maintaining a community that is varied and intellectually stimulating, and a campus rich in learning resources and natural beauty. As an engaged partner with western Colorado, Mesa State creates opportunities for an interactive flow of knowledge between campus and the diverse communities that surround and support us.

Any person 60 years of age or older may take classes at Mesa State on a non-credit basis. Passport students do not take exams and all writing assignments are not mandatory. No grade is reported and no records are kept. The purpose of the program is to allow people 60 and over to stay active in the college community and add to the discussion from a varied perspective.

Enrollment in the Senior Passport to Education program requires consent of the instructor. Enrolled students of Mesa State will have priority for openings in classes. Passport students will not be allowed in classes which are at capacity. Books, lab fees, special equipment fees, supplies, private lessons, and community education courses (ie. non-credit, lifelong learning, corporate education, personal enrichment, etc.) are NOT included in the Senior Passport to Education program.

To enroll in the Senior Passport to Education program, stop by the Registrar's office in the lower level of Lowell Heiny Hall. Get the Senior Passport to Education enrollment form. Take it with you on the first day of classes. Get the instructor's signature on the form. Return the completed form to the Registrar's office.
