REGISTRATION QUESTIONS How do I register for courses? • The catalog and registration form are on the OLLI West website (go to the ‘Fall Term Information’ tab) - http://portfolio.du.edu/olliwest. A fillable registration form is also provided on the web. Download, complete, print and mail the completed registration form and check(s) to: OLLI West, 12081 West Alameda Pkwy, #436, Lakewood, CO 80228. • In-person registration will be available on Monday, July 31, 2017, from 10am to 2pm at our Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church campus located at 1500 West 20th Avenue, Lakewood, CO 80215.

What is the cost for OLLI courses? • There is a Membership Fee each term of $130. • There may also be a materials fee, InterActive fee or an up-charge (additional charge for OLLI on Campus courses) associated with the course. If there is, it will be noted with the course description. What does the membership fee cover? For $130 each term, you can take classes at any or all the OLLI at DU sites (West, Central, South or OLLI on Campus). You may register for multiple classes for the term and enrollment in those classes will be based on availability (some class sizes are limited). When is the payment due? The Membership Fee and other course fees are due at the time of registration. In some cases, the fee will be payable to the facilitator (such as tour fees or materials used during InterActive classes), and that information will be included with the class description.
Can I register for classes at other sites on the same form? • Yes, you will find columns on the registration form next to the course listing, where you should indicate if the course is at another site. • If you are taking classes at West as well as at other sites, make your membership fee check out to OLLI West. • If this is a mixed site registration, and fees are due for classes at the other sites, send the class fee to the applicable site. • If you are not taking classes at the West location, please send your registration and fee to the applicable site. Are there scholarships? Partial or full scholarships are available. Please contact Susan Schmetzer, OLLI West Manager, for more information. When will I be notified of the classes in which I have been enrolled? OLLI West will begin sending out enrollment notifications about five weeks after the catalog is posted on the website. How will the notification be communicated to me? OLLI West notifications are sent via email. Please be sure your current email address has been provided (it is requested on the registration form) and check your email periodically. You will receive separate notifications if you have registered at multiple sites. If I cannot attend the term after all, can I get a refund? A full refund, per term, may be provided if requested no later than 10 days into the term. No refunds are provided for InterActive Learning classes. What if a class is cancelled before the term starts? Occasionally a class will be cancelled and if that happens for a class in which you are enrolled, you will be notified. You will be informed if there are other classes in that same time slot that have availability and given the opportunity to register for an alternate class. Where are OLLI West classes held? Classes will be at either the Jefferson Unitarian Church (JUC) or Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church (SoH). The addresses are on the inside cover of the
catalog and on the ‘Maps/Directions’ tab of the OLLI West website https://portfolio.du.edu/olliwest. Where do I find the class syllabus? If there is a syllabus (not all classes will have one), you will find it on the Class Offerings column on the Fall Term Information tab, on the OLLI West website https://portfolio.du.edu/olliwest. May I attend a class for which I am not registered? You must be registered before you attend the class. Please respect your fellow students and instructors by not attending classes for which you are not registered. If the class appears to have availability, you may contact Susan or Dara and ask if registration for that class is possible. Where do I obtain the required reading for OLLI classes? ● The required book for the Great Decision class is available for $25 through OLLI. ● For any other class that has required or suggested reading, books can be purchased at your favorite book seller or borrowed from a source of your choosing. ● As an OLLI member, you have borrowing privileges at the University of Denver Library (Anderson Academic Commons). ● Consider purchasing a used book. Used books can be found on the internet at various sites to include Amazon.com or you may find them locally at used book stores, Tattered Cover, ARC or Goodwill.
