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 August 10 at 10:00am to September 6 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.

◆ Everyone who applies for programs that become subject to the lottery will be notified of the outcome by 5:00pm on September 8.

Key Dates

Registration begins: August 10, 10:00am

Initial registration ends: September 6, 4:00pm

Notices sent: September 8, by 5:00pm

All dates tentative

◆ 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 September 8.

◆ As before, you can register online or by mail. The preferred method for registration is online.

◆ All payments must be made at the time of registration.
