Affected Spring 2020 Classes
Starting Monday, March 16, 2020, we will be offering as many OLLI at ASU classes as possible to an online video conferencing platform called Zoom. Of the 80 affected classes, OLLI at ASU is happy to announce that 43 classes will be moving to Zoom. Though we are not meeting face-to-face in the classroom, we are excited to offer an excellent alternative by attending your class online! The is exactly what all of ASU, and most universities nation-wide are doing to shift students out of classrooms during this emergency. By doing so, you continue to learn from the comfort of your home, on your patio, at the coffee shop, at a friend or family member's home, etc.
Our priorities are your safety and providing quality service to you.
If your class has been moved to Zoom, you received an email with the link to the classroom. You'll also receive a reminder email before class begins with that link.
Canceled classes are eligible for class credit to be used during Summer 2020 or Fall 2020 classes. Classes moved to Zoom are not eligible for class credit.
