Course Offerings & Registration - Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

The SCU Development office requires two business days to ensure that your payments have been processed and your profile shows that you have successfully paid for a particular course. If you miss the two-day cut-off, just send the OLLI office a copy of your email confirmation, showing payment has been made. We will forward the email link that grants you access to your class session.
Please be sure to register for each course at least two days prior to the start of the class session so that you can receive the email link that grants you access to it. You may register for a course that has already started any time, but you will pay the full price. Course fees are NOT prorated.
All class enrollments are online with a credit card on our secure server.
You will no longer need a login (username and password) to register for classes and events.
Membership is nonrefundable, regardless of whether you are able to enroll in your desired course.
If you register for any courses (s) that are ONLINE ONLY, you will receive an email link from the OLLI office 24 hours before the start of your first class session. The link will grant you access to your class via Zoom. If you do not receive the email, please email the OLLI office at olli@scu.edu and we will assist you.
