Where is the office located? The OLLI Office is located in the Herring Center for Continuing Education on the main level. If you enter the building at the front entrance, you will be in Manly Lobby, and our offices will be on your left past the Marvin Book Nook. What is the wait list policy? If you sign up for a class that is full, you can choose to be put on a waiting list. We are limited by classroom sizes, time available to us, instructor preferences, and safety. If a class has a long waiting list, the Curriculum Committee works to secure the course for future terms. Please be patient if you are put on a waiting list; many times, we are able to open/move a class to handle the demand. Are there any class rules? Out of consideration of other OLLI members, please arrive on time or wait to enter your classroom during the break. If you need to leave a class early, please leave at the break. We also ask that members refrain from heavy perfume/aftershave in respect for those with allergies. So that others may enjoy the topic, we request that members not repeat courses. Do you have scholarships available? Yes. If you need financial assistance, please contact Nancy Kennedy at 864.294.2979. How do I use the Hearing Loop? Members can check out headphone sets from the OLLI Office prior to their classes held in HC004, HC110 and HC111. These headphone sets will assist those without hearing aids. Why do you not accept credit cards via mail or in the office? For Furman’s and your security, we request that when paying for courses in the office or by mail that members use check or cash. What do the Photography classes proficiency levels mean? The proficiency levels are to help prospective students match a photography class to their technical ability. Level 1 is for novices/beginners with limited experience. Level 2 is for hobbyists/aspiring photographers who are familiar with the principles of photography, camera operations and basic post processing. Level 3 is for advanced photographers with high competence with the principles of photography, camera operations and post-processing.
