Course Policies & Procedures
WAITLIST POLICY
If a course or event is full, a waitlist will open automatically during online registration. You may add yourself to the waitlist, and if a spot becomes available, you’ll receive an email notification. You’ll have 24 hours to register and pay before the spot is offered to the next person on the list. Waitlisted spots will only be offered through the first week of classes; after that, no additional seats will be filled. Please note that the course fee remains the same regardless of when a participant joins from the waitlist.
REFUND POLICY
Refunds are available based on the type of course or event. For multi-week courses, members are eligible for a full refund if they cancel before or during the first week; no refunds or partial refunds will be issued after that point. For one-day courses, a full refund is available if the cancellation is made at least three business days before the course date. Refunds for special events vary and are determined on a case-by-case basis—please refer to the specific event details on our website or contact the office for more information. If you have extenuating circumstances, please contact the office.
WEATHER POLICY
Your safety is our top priority. Please use your best judgment when deciding whether to travel to class during inclement weather.
General Closure Guidelines
In-person classes at each OLLI at DU location follow the weather closure decisions of the corresponding local school district or the University of Denver (DU), as outlined below.
- If the local school district or DU campus (for DU-based classes) is closed, OLLI classes at that location are cancelled.
- If the school district announces a delayed start, OLLI classes will still be held at their regularly scheduled time.
- If the local school district has an in-service day that coincides with bad weather, a closure may not be announced publicly. In those cases, please check the OLLI website or call the OLLI office for location-specific updates.
- If you are uncertain about whether your class will be held, please call the OLLI office at 303-871-3090. The voicemail greeting will be updated by 7:00 a.m. on days with weather concerns to reflect any closures or schedule changes.
