Courses

What Are the Courses Like?

There are no academic requirements other than an active, inquiring mind. Courses have no exams or grades, although some may include optional or informal homework assignments. Classes are designed purely for the enjoyment of learning, personal enrichment, and shared discussion.

The courses are simply for the enjoyment of learning.

Policy for Limited Enrollment Classes

Some courses have enrollment limits. When these classes are over-enrolled, the following policy applies:

  • If a limited-enrollment course is over-subscribed, all members who listed the course as their first choice will be entered into a lottery. Those selected will be placed in the class.
  • Members not selected will be placed on a waiting list and will receive first priority if the course is offered again. The Registrar will maintain waiting list records until the course is re-offered.
  • Members who have taken a limited-enrollment course during its first offering may not retake it until everyone on the waiting list has had the opportunity to enroll.
  • Members are encouraged to sign up for at least one additional class if their first choice has limited enrollment.
  • Members should avoid registering for limited-enrollment courses if they know they will not be able to attend all four sessions.

How Much Does it Cost?

AALL Membership cost is $30/year. This entitles each person to take one course per term without additional charge. Additional courses are $10. There may be some extra charges in some courses for materials or transportation.

If you are unable to attend a course for which you have registered, fees will be refunded up until the beginning of the course.
