1) You can participate in our drop and add process that will begin the week before the semester begins; all classes will be posted on our website; you can check them at your convenience, and if spots open, you can sign up.
2) You can show up at your desired course a half hour or so early, sign in with the volunteer monitor, and then return 10 minutes before; if there are empty seats, you can join the class. There are often empty seats in OLLI courses.
