July Shorts 2023

The July Shorts are July 10-14. Each Short course runs for 2-5 days during the one week. The $100 membership fee allows you to be assigned up to three courses in the lottery (Monday, June 26) and then select additional courses after class assignment letters are emailed. All selections are pending until after Lottery Day.
 

You can now stack your July Shorts! We have moved some of the two-session courses from Monday and Tuesday (July 10-11) to Thursday and Friday (July 13-14) of the Shorts week. This means that some of the shorter two- and three- session courses will now run concurrently in the same time slot instead of having them all start on Monday. We think this will be a great benefit to members, as you can now stack courses within the same time slot. For example, if you want a course scheduled for July 10-12 (Mon-Wed) at 11:45 AM, you can now add another that meets July 13-14 (Thu-Fri), also at 11:45 AM, instead of having to choose between the two.

The July Shorts lottery will still assign you up to three courses. However, after the lottery, for the first time ever, you will not be limited to four courses total and can add as many open courses as fit in your schedule!

If you request a refund by the close of business, Friday, July 7, your payment will be refunded minus a $10 administrative fee. Requests for refunds must be made in writing (email is fine) and must be submitted to the OLLI office by close of business, Friday, July 7.

Choose your course selections BEFORE Lottery Day, Monday, June 26.
