OLLI UM | WINTER 2024
Event Registration Procedure STUDY GROUPS AND SIGS ARE SUBJECT TO LOTTERY THIS TERM OLLI has created a more equitable registration process that also addresses operational problems on the first day of registration. The process applies only to Study Groups and Shared Interest Groups (SIG) this term. Registration for all other OLLI offerings are not subject to lottery.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR STUDY GROUPS AND SHARED INTEREST GROUPS (SIGS) REGISTRATION: ◆ The initial registration period will run from January 2 at 10:00am to January 16 at 4:00pm. You can register at any time during this period and receive equal consideration for classes that become oversubscribed. ◆ All oversubscribed study groups and Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) will be subject to a lottery to give everyone an equal chance to get in. Early registration does not increase your chances.
◆ Members who are not selected will be given refunds, placed on a wait list, and invited to join if space becomes available. Our goal is to issue refunds the week after the lottery. ◆ Registration for classes that are not full will still be possible after January 18. ◆ As before, you can register online or by mail. The preferred method for registration is online.
◆ Everyone who applies for programs that become subject to the lottery will be notified of the outcome by 5:00pm on January 18.
