Registration Update

 

Course Request Registration Recap. The Course Request phase of Fall 2014 registration is now complete. Long time members that remember the old manual course assignment process will be particularly amazed to learn that the computerized version took just 50 seconds. Every member that participated got at least one or more of the classes they requested. We're working on a analysis that will help inform the best "strategy" for getting the courses you want during this phase of registration. 


 

Late Registration Open Now, Tuesday, August 19. The great thing about this phase of registration is that there is no "strategy" necessary. It's totally straightforward. If you are signed in to your account, you can instantly determine if a class is available. Click on a particular course you want and the button within the box describing it will say either "Add to Cart," if there is space, or "Add to Waitlist," if the class is full. Best of all, as of this moment, there are at least 65 courses with remaining seats. This number changes constantly as classes are dropped and added.

 

Speaking of Drops...if you have decided to drop a course, please notify the office promptly so that another member can benefit from its availability. Email [email protected] with "DROP" in the subject line, and be sure to specify the course name and number.

Welcome, New Members!

If you have recently joined OLLI, you may have many questions. We have tried to anticipate what these might be in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of the OLLI website. Just one full-time and three part-time staff serve 1,400 members, so you'll discover that the website is the fastest way to obtain the answers you need. In addition to the FAQs, you can also use the navigation menu on the left or enter a keyword in the Search box in the upper right of each screen. Or, ask a fellow member -- it's a friendly group!
