Winter '26 Term

We're delighted to share that the response to Winter Term registration has been fantastic. Though most courses have already sold out, there are still open spots in Medical Care Innovations Since WWII, A Place in the Sun, Comic Gems, and Ceremonial Aspects of Drumming.


We know it can be disappointing to discover that a course you hoped to take has already filled.

Each study leader sets their class size with intention—smaller groups are designed for rich conversation and discussion, while larger classes support a lecture-style format.


Because these sizes are set thoughtfully, we’re not always able to add additional seats once a course reaches capacity.


If a course you’re interested in is full, we strongly encourage you to join the waitlist. Openings do occur, and spots are offered in the order wait list requests are received.

Please Note:



Course reminders and rosters for the Winter '26 term are sent out approximately one week before the start of each course.

Please consider using these rosters to connect with other AIL members for carpooling purposes, as parking on campus may be limited due to snow accumulation.
