Prospect Registration Information
Email the office
If you decide you would like to register, please email the office at osher@cmu.edu requesting a callback from the office. Please provide your phone number and the best time to call. We will respond with a release form to sign, and to confirm the phone call. If you have taken classes before, you will not be required to sign another release form.
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.
