OLLI Class Schedule Times

OLLI wants to make access to classes as convenient as possible and reasonable. The purpose of this survey is to seek feedback regarding the current schedule and recent modifications.

With the exception of our Summer Term, the schedule for OLLI classes has traditionally allowed for three 90-minute class periods, Monday through Thursday. In 2009, we made an adjustment to the start and end times of the mid-day slot to allow time for smooth transitions. In 2011, based on suggestions from members in Loudoun, we adjusted the times as well as the class lengths for Loudoun OLLI classes.

We promised that we would monitor this situation to determine if we need to consider further modifications. By completing this survey, you can provide your perspective which will help in making decisions.

The modified schedule in Loudoun is:

First block: 10-00-11:15 a.m. (75 min)
Second block: 12:15-1:30 p.m. (75 min)
Third block: 2:30-3:30 p.m. (60 min)
