Greetings!  

Welcome to Fall Term 

OLLI Fall Term begins on Monday, September 12th. Make sure to check your class request form to see which classes you are enrolled in and which ones are waitlisted. Also, members can add/drop during the term by calling the OLLI office at (541) 552-6048 or by stopping by the Ashland office.

Parking

Parking in Ashland

Parking permits are available for those members who would like to park in the Cox Hall Lot on Frances Lane (across the street from Starbucks) in Ashland. The parking permit costs $30 and will be good from 9-12-11 through 6-8-12. Bring your car license plate #, your $30 and Pam can provide you with a permit.  

Parking in Medford

The City of Medford is changing how downtown parking works, but at this point it sounds like those changes won't be effective until winter term. Fall term should be "same as last year" (free all-day parking in the Bear Creek lot, free 2- or 3-hour parking in the lots on Central Ave.) but please keep an ear out for announcements about the changes that are coming.

The following changes have been made to the Fall 2011 schedule:

• US Supreme Court Class #44 has been moved to Tuesdays, 8:30-10:20, 10-4 thru 11-8 for 6 sessions in the Meese Auditorium.
• Jewelry Design #62 has been moved to Thursdays, 1-3:00, 10-27 thru 11-17, Room B.
• Juggling is Art #67 has been canceled.
• Basic Retirement Income Planning #108 has been changed to Thursdays, 9-10:30, 10-6 and 10-13, HEC 226, 2 sessions.

There are two additional OLLI courses to add to your list of one-credit classes for fall:

1. Conscious Relationships, OLLI CL#85
2. Rogue Valley Concerts, OLLI CL#9 

• OLLI students who sign up to audit as SOU students get a student ID card in the mail.
   
• Card Activation: When it arrives, you need not "activate" the card, and even though it looks like a credit card, it is NOT a credit card. It could be activated as a debit card for SOU students on financial aid; since OLLI students do not pay tuition and fees, you do not need to activate your student ID.
   
• Benefits to Auditing as an SOU Student: One major benefit to signing up as a senior auditor is that you gain student privileges at the SOU Hannon Library for the term. Note: Please enroll by the deadline (9/13/11) to be sure that your name is added to the database of senior auditor students.
   
• Other Benefits to OLLI Membership: There are several other campus-related benefits to being an OLLI student, and these are outlined on the FAQs page of the OLLI website. Also feel free to contact Pam Roessler in the OLLI office if you have any suggestions, comments, or questions about the One Credit Initiative.
