Severe
Weather or
Emergencies. OLLI
will be closed when local public schools are closed due to inclement
weather or extraordinary circumstances, or as authorized by the
executive director. Fairfax/Tallwood and Reston/Lake Anne locations
will follow Fairfax County public schools. The Loudoun/Sterling
location will follow Loudoun County public schools. Make-up classes
will be scheduled for the week following the term, subject to
instructor availability. OLLI opens on schedule when county public
schools have delayed openings.
Tune in to
your TV or
radio
or check the school Web sites (Fairfax County; Loudoun
County) for closing announcements when the weather is bad or
emergencies
exist. You can also check the Tallwood answering machine
at (703)
503-3384.
Registration
Procedures. OLLI has an easy-to-use online registration system that
more than half of members now use; we strongly encourage you to
register online by visiting the Member
Portal (please call the
office at 703-503-3384 if you have questions or problems with
registering online). If you prefer to register manually, complete the
Registration Form, enclose your check(s) to renew your annual
membership (if applicable) and pay for any courses or special events
(separate checks are required
for each event), and then mail the material to OLLI or deliver
it to the office any time during the registration period.
Drop
or
Add
a
Course. To withdraw from a course after you register, sign
on to the Member
Portal and under Courses, select Drop a Course. Highlight the
course or special event you want to drop, then click on Withdraw. A
confirmation email will be sent to you. To add a course, select
Register/Add Course and follow the registration procedure.
Getting
the Courses
You Want. Courses
and activities are limited by available space or other factors. The
most important thing you can do to improve your chances of getting the
courses and activities you want is to list them in priority order of
their importance to you on the Registration Form. If courses are not
over-subscribed, you will be enrolled in the courses you have
requested. For the relatively few over-subscribed courses, registration
is filled by priority group (priority ones first, then priority twos,
etc.), and when there are not enough slots, remaining available slots
for that priority group will be filled by 'lottery' using
computer-generated numbers.
