OLLI at SOU Summer Office Hours (June 9-August 29):

Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., closed Fridays.

Calling All Winter Course Proposals!

Winter 2026 course proposals are being accepted for two more weeks! The deadline to submit is Sunday, August 31.

Bring your passion to the most engaged students you'll ever teach. OLLI members are asking for courses on nephology (the study of clouds), French, history, literature, psychology and playwriting. Are any of these up your alley? Submit your course using this link. Courses are two to ten weeks long and usually run from 60 minutes to two hours. OLLI members are looking to explore new ideas and are open to new challenges. Email apcoleman2019@gmail.com with any questions.

Priority Registration Ends Friday

Priority Registration ends Friday, August 22. Visit our online catalog and submit up to three priority course requests. Registering during the Priority Registration Period increases your chances of getting the course(s) you want but is no guarantee-especially if the course is oversubscribed and has a Waitlist. View our Priority Registration Guide (PDF) or watch a registration tutorial on our YouTube channel.

Curious About the One Credit Program?

OLLI at SOU members may have noticed a new question on the Membership Form this year about the SOU One Credit Program. Members only have to opt-in once a year now instead of every term to participate. We encourage any OLLI member who qualifies to opt-in! It is a free, easy way to support SOU and gives members access to the SOU Hannon Library! Read more about the One Credit Program on our FAQ page.

Contact the OLLI office at olli@sou.edu to confirm your one-credit status.
