Frequently Asked Questions
About Registration

Q: I really have questions about OLLI?

A: For more on OLLI - Click Here

Q: May I "reserve" a place in the class? How do I register?

A: We are sorry, but we are not able to hold places for prospective members. Registering and paying for your membership now is the best way to ensure your place in class. (Link to "How to Register")

Q: Is there a registration deadline?

A: Not really—but usually final class decisions are made 48 hours before your first session, so it would be advisable to sign up before then. Otherwise, we might cancel a class without knowing about your interest in taking it. On the “flip side,” some classes are very popular and fill quickly. If you delay in registering, you may run the risk of being closed out.

Q: I will be unable to attend all of the sessions of the class. May I still sign up?

A: Yes, these classes are noncredit and you will not be penalized for missing sessions. You will, of course, be missing out on the information presented and possibly keeping another member from being in the class.

Q: What happens if a course is closed?

A: If the course you want is filled, we'll put you on a waiting list. You may choose to remain on the wait list or to take another class. Every effort will be made to accommodate you - if the moderator agrees and we have a room, we've even been known to create new class sections to meet member needs.

Q: Where is my class?

A: Classes are held on the UC main campus, UC Blue Ash College, Adath Israel and other locations around the city. Exact campus, room, building locations, parking information, and directions will be verified in the enrollment confirmation we send. Each class has the location and time identified on the course listing in the online browse or registration areas.

Q: Are there ever changes in courses that have been published?

A: We don’t like to make changes, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. We reserve the right to change times, locations or instructors. If we must cancel a class, we will make every effort to notify you immediately. Please provide daytime phone numbers so that we may contact you. You may then choose to transfer to another class.

Q: What if I do not receive confirmation of my enrollment?

A: If you have not received confirmation within two days of starting date for your class, please call (513) 556-9186 or stop by the OLLI office. Office hours are 8 am-5 pm Monday-Friday.

Q: How often are catalogs published?

A: Classes are offered in the fall, winter and spring quarters. No classes are offered in the summer months. Catalogs are published in August, December, and February. To receive our print catalog, email oharace@ucmail.uc.edu.

Q: What if I have special needs?

A: If you have a disability and need specialized services, call the Disability Services Office at (513) 556-6823 well in advance of your class to discuss your needs.
