We are excited to announce that we will be offering classes on two different campuses: CMU campus and Eden Hall campus; community sites around Pittsburgh; and online through Zoom for the Winter 2022 term! Registration is not yet open for the Winter 2022 term; we expect member registration to take place early December.
Please note: The Winter 2022 Course Catalogue will only be published on-line.
Important information:
Follow these two steps to ensure you have a seamless registration:
- You have filled in a Vaccine Attestation Form (VAF).
- You have paid your 2022 Membership Dues.
Please contact the Osher office by emailing osher@cmu.edu if you are not sure if you have turned in a VAF or paid your dues.
Though we look forward to seeing everyone back on campus, the board has stipulated that everyone attending in-person courses must be vaccinated to attempt to provide a safe in-person environment for our vulnerable population. We have asked all Members, Prospects, and Study Leaders to fill in a Vaccine Attestation Form (VAF) to ensure the safety of our community. A copy of this form is provided on our website, and by clicking the link below.
In order to renew your membership and participate in courses - online or in person - for the 2022 year, you must turn in a VAF. If you have yet to fill in a form, please click the link below:
How will registration work?
For those who have been vaccinated...
To participate in on campus courses on the CMU campus (Oakland) and the Chatham Eden Hall campus (Gibsonia), you must have filled out a VAF attesting that you have received a full dosage of a Covid vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson.) If you have been vaccinated and we have your VAF on record, you will be able to register for classes by using the online registration system.
If you have forgotten your login information, please email osher@cmu.edu to request your username and the steps to create a new password.
For those who have not yet been vaccinated...
For those that are unvaccinated, a VAF is still required. If the VAF form indicates an unvaccinated status, a paper registration, submitted either via email or through the mail addressed to the Osher office, is required. Paper registrations will be entered on a first come basis once registration is announced. Unvaccinated members can only be registered for courses held online on Zoom.
Please click on the link below to print and fill in a registration form, and send it to Osher at CMU, 5000 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh PA 15213. If you cannot print the form, you may send us your registration neatly printed on a plain piece of paper along with your payment.

Please be prepared for your call back by having your courses picked out and having your credit card ready. We will take the credit card number over the phone.
Registration is $85/term and covers as many courses as you’d like to take with the exception of those with an additional material fee.
Materials Fee
Materials fees are due at the time of registration unless otherwise stated. Where indicated, materials fees are non-refundable. Should you not be admitted to a course, your prepaid fee will be made into an electronic voucher (credit).
Confirmation Emails
As you are registered, a "confirmation of class registration" will be automatically emailed to you for each course you are enrolled in. Should a course not be listed, it means that you are on the waiting list for which you will receive a waitlist email. You will be notified via email if and when you are enrolled in a waitlisted class. Please do not attend any classes for which you do not have a confirmation.
Adding and Dropping Courses
To add a course(s) after registering, please either go online to do so, or email the office at osher@cmu.edu. If you want to drop a course, complete the form at cmu.edu/osher, Quick Links, click on "Drop my Course" button. This is especially important to do early for courses with a waiting list so another member can attend.
IMPORTANT: You must receive a course confirmation in order to attend a course. A course confirmation is not the same as a waiting list notice.
Waiting Lists
If you encounter a course that has a limited number of participants, we encourage you to add you name to the waiting list. There are a few courses that will have a limited number of participants to ensure the highest quality for the course. If you become unavailable, please remove your name from the waiting list by signing into you account, click "Go to Dashboard", click on "My Waiting List" tab, and remove the course.
