SPRING TERM BEGINS IN JANUARY
The Academy for Lifelong Learning's Curriculum Committee has put together an array of twenty-six courses that should appeal to a wide range of interests. The Academy will continue to offer most courses for both in-class and online participants.
CATALOG
The Academy Spring 2021 catalog may be downloaded from our CATALOG PAGE.
The Academy catalog is also included as a section of the combined UofSC Aiken Continuing Education catalog that may be picked up at the Continuing Education Office, Business and Education Building, Room 111.
SCHEDULE
Registration is now in progress. See our REGISTER PAGE for details.
Classes Begin Friday January 15 with additional courses beginning throughout the term. The final class session is Tuesday May 4.
IN-CLASS INSTRUCTION
In-class enrollment and seat spacing are being managed to comply with government and University guidelines. Students on campus are required to comply with all University requirements, including maintaining social distancing and the wearing of face masks where specified.
ONLINE INSTRUCTION
Those wishing to avoid face-to-face contact can register to attend most Academy classes online in real time via the internet. Those unable to register for in-class courses because in-class registration has reached its capacity may also register with the Online option to avoid being shut out.
Online participation is via Microsoft Teams. For instructions on using Microsoft Teams (PDF format}, click on these links: General Info, Apple Info).
CLASSES RELOCATED
Several classes have been moved to larger rooms to accomodate larger than anticipated enrollments. See the Catalog Update page for details.
