Policies and Procedures
Cancellations
Students will receive a full refund if a class is canceled due to under-enrollment.
Students will also receive a full refund if an instructor cancels a class before its start.
Once a class has started and an instructor cancels a class for medical or personal reasons, students will receive a prorated refund based on the number of classes held before cancellation.
Students are expected to pay for course session(s) they attend.
Refund Policy
If a student drops a course before the first scheduled class session, the student will receive a full refund.
If a student drops a course after the first scheduled class session, the student will receive a refund minus a 25 percent administrative fee.
If a student drops a course after the second scheduled class session, the student forfeits their entire tuition.
If a class is canceled due to under-enrollment or an instructor-related issue, students will receive a full or partial tuition refund.
Students are expected to pay for course session(s) they attend.
Unless canceled by OLLI, there are no refunds for Connections (the documentary film series), Lectures, Workshops, Special Events, or Programs.
Membership Fees
A Gold ($85) or Silver ($25) Membership is required to register for a multi-session course. You do not need a membership to register for lectures, workshops, programs, or presentations.

Transfer Policy
You may request a transfer to another course (within the same term) up to two (2) business days after the first scheduled class session at no charge. A transfer can be accommodated if there is space in the class.
Wait List
Once a student is placed on a waitlist, the student will be notified if a seat becomes available in the class they wish to attend. The student will have 24 hours to notify the OLLI staff of their interest in the class. We will use the student-provided contact information for notification by phone or email. If the student has not contacted the office within 24 hours, the next student on the waitlist will be contacted.

Building Evacuation Procedures
Upon receipt of an evacuation order, all employees and students shall exit via the nearest unaffected exit. They shall proceed quickly and quietly to the designated evacuation relocation point for the area they were in at the time of the evacuation order. If class is in session, it is the responsibility of the instructor to direct their students from their classroom to the appropriate egress route and relocation point.
