Senior Adult Gaining Education and Stimulation

Atlantic and Cape May County Residents 60 years of age or older seeking to earn college credits are eligible to join the Atlantic Cape SAGES Program. Senior adults who do not want to earn college credits can take workshops through CE for personal or professional development (fees will apply).

What are the costs?

SAGES memberships are free. As a member of SAGES, senior adults may enroll tuition-free in credit courses, when space is available. Although tuition and the activity fees are waived, any senior adult taking a college credit course will be assessed a general fee per credit hour, a facilities fee per credit hour, plus any special fees which apply to specific courses.  Please see SAGES semester cost below for more information.    

**Associated fees are listed below.

How can I receive a SAGES membership?

A SAGES membership may be obtained at any of the three Atlantic Cape campus locations. You must bring identification that indicates a date of birth and residency status, such as a driver's license, or other state issued ID. You will then be issued a SAGES card.

When can I register?

REgistration for SAGES is only available on the last business day before the semester/session begins.  This is the only opportunity to register in person with your SAGES card.  Please see specific campus hours of operation at www.atlantic.edu.  Please note that mail registrations will not be accepted. Eligible registrations are for credit courses with space available.

Courses in Nursing, Culinary Arts or Baking/Pastry, or class registrations submitted prior to the designated date are not eligible for a SAGES waiver. If taking a course which requires a Placement Test, please make arrangements to take the Test well in advance of the registration date. Students who already have a degree (A.A., B.S., etc.) may be exempt from testing by providing a copy of their diploma or may request a waiver for one semester only if registering for personal development.
