Prairie State College is offering high school seniors the opportunity to enroll in a tuition-free class. To be eligible, students must live within the Prairie State district, have a grade-point average of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and obtain permission from an appropriate high school authority.

Students who participate in this program either during the fall before their senior year, and earn a B or better, are eligible for a second tuition-free course in the spring of senior year. Students also must take a placement test in order to enroll in classes; some classes require a minimum placement test score.

Laboratory fees, books and supplies are not included in this special waiver. Online classes also are not included in this waiver.

For more information about the special tuition waiver, call (708) 709-7776.

Fall classes begin Aug. 25. All new students must register in person. Prairie State College's Counseling & Academic Advising Center and Office of Admissions are open Monday through Thursday. Continuing students may register online at prairiestate.edu or in person. For more information, call (708) 709-3506.
