Lifelong Learning @UM

Step 1

Apply

Are you 65 yrs. or older? If yes, you are eligible to take one academic course (up to 4 hours) tuition-free. You must first apply online to the university as an undergraduate student or a graduate student, depending on the class level you would like to take. This must be done at least 10 days prior to the beginning of the semester. You will need to select “Undecided” unless you plan to pursue a degree. If you apply as a graduate student not planning to pursue a degree, you will need to select “Non-Degree Seeking.”

If already admitted, go to Step 2.

Step 2

Register

Once you have been admitted to the university, you should receive notice of admission. On the first day of class (if taking a class in Oxford on the main campus), you will need to go to the Office of the Registrar (104 Martindale) and meet with the Registration and Records Coordinator in order to register for your class.

It is good practice for you to select at least 3 different classes (browse by dept. if you are not sure of the course number) that you are interested in taking before meeting with the Registration and Records Coordinator.

Be prepared to complete a scholarship application in the office of the Registration and Records Coordinator.

Step 3

Complete

After you complete your registration for the class, you will need to secure a parking pass through the Department of Parking and Transportation located in the South Campus Recreation Center (980 Whirlpool Drive, Suite A). You have several options to choose from. There is a cost associated with the parking pass.

If you wish to have your own UM Student ID, you may go to the ID Center located in the lower level of the Rebel Market, 155 Johnson Commons West at your convenience. Your card will be active once you have registered for your class.
