If you enroll and you choose a course that has reached its maximum enrollment you will automatically be placed on the waitlist for that course. Your confirmation will include both enrolled courses and waitlisted courses. You will not be automatically enrolled in your waitlisted courses if space becomes available.

Contact information for all course facilitators is found in the OLLI catalog or on the Courses/Events page on the website.
If, after enrolling in a course, you find that you cannot attend, please notify the course facilitator promptly so that your place in the class can be filled by the next person on the waiting list. Contact information for all course facilitators is found in the OLLI catalog or on the Courses/Events page on the website.
