OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE
PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS 50 AND BETTER
Frequently Asked Questions

When do classes start? When do classes end?
We list beginning and ending dates with each class description. These dates will also be on the confirmation letter sent to you after you register. In some instances, there may be special activities, but these are clearly stated in the course schedule.

Who teaches the classes?
Retired and current SDSU professors, and faculty from other universities.

How much does membership cost?
It is $35 per person per year; $50 for a couples membership. This membership is valid for one full year. Membership includes special benefits, lectures, and lower course fees.

What is the price per class?
The fee for each class, activity, or program is included with the course description.

Do you ever cancel classes?
If we do not have sufficient enrollment to cover class expenses, we will have to cancel it. You can help insure a "go" class by recruiting others to join you in the class. If we cancel a class, you can move to another class or we will reimburse you for the course fee.

Where do I park?
Parking is very easy, convenient, and included with your course enrollment. You will receive a parking permit with your registration confirmation. Parking is in Parking Structure II, which is right next to the building where the classes are held. An overflow lot on Hardy Avenue is also available.

What about refunds? If I don't want to use the membership benefits, can I get a price adjustment?
The $35 or $50 membership fee is not refundable, nor can it be prorated or adjusted. We include a complete description of the course refund policy in the brochure and on our web site, http://www.ces.sdsu.edu/osher, under membership and registration.

May I give a gift of an Osher Institute membership or a class?
We have gift certificates and would be glad to provide you with more information. The gift of learning is an essentially meaningful gift for someone retiring, for Father's or Mother's Day, a birthday, or simply to say, "you've taught me a lot through your example."

Is the classroom wheelchair accessible?
Yes.

How can my group get a speaker, someone to staff an information table, or brochures on the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute?

How do I get other questions answered?
