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, other distinguished educators, and subject matter experts.

How much does membership cost?
It is $35 per person per year; $50 for a couples membership. A year is three terms. (For example, if you start in Spring 2006, you also are a member in Fall 2006 and Summer 2006. You would renew your membership in Spring 2007). 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. Fees are based on what it costs the Institute to run the class and on a minimum enrollment for that particular class.

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. Your confirmation letter serves as your parking permit. Parking is in Parking Structure II, which is right next to the building where the classes are held.

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?
