Winter Term Begins Today: Welcome!
Add a class!
There are still open seats in many courses, including some that begin later in the term. The list changes continually as members add and drop. To add classes,  sign into your existing account  and follow the prompts. You may also drop in or call (541-552-6048) the OLLI office for assistance.
Schedule too full?
Dropping a course is quick and easy, and makes room for another member to add it. Just email the office at [email protected] with "DROP" in the subject line and provide the name of the course(s) or call 541-552-6048.
