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.

  • 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.

Signing Up as a Senior Auditor at OLLI at SOU
  • 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.
