Hold Onto Your Seat!

Can't attend the first session of a class? Students that are registered in a course but who cannot attend the first class session must notify the OLLI office prior to the first class meeting or risk being dropped if there are students on the wait list for the course. The OLLI office will be certain that those that are dropped will be promptly notified. Note the latest list of high demand classes with waiting lists. This list changes daily.

 

Didn't get into a class you want? Register for it if there are seats available. Don't just "show up." For drops that occur prior to the first class meeting or in the first one or two weeks of the course, these openings will be filled by the OLLI office ONLY from the official wait list. The office will promptly notify the affected students. 

Parking

 

New and returning members. Review the parking options for the campus(es) you'll be attending. Cool tip for Medford campus users: join the nearby Medford Senior Center and park in their lot all year!!

If Your Class Lacks a Host...

Some instructors indicated in their course proposals that (s)he did not need a host. In other cases, no one volunteered to serve. If your class does not have a host and you arrive early, consider checking whether there is sufficient hot water. Also, you might ask the instructor if (s)he would like you to read announcements or oversee circulation of the attendance sheet. 
One-Credit Courses

 

You may be enrolled in an OLLI course that will be eligible for one-credit status from SOU. Unfortunately, we do not yet have the list of those courses. This delay is because SOU faculty determine which courses qualify, and many are still on break. SOU classes start three weeks later than ours.You can expect this list in early October. Stay tuned.
