We have good news and bad news. The good news is that the response to our fall semester enrollment has been fantastic. The bad news is that we have distributed all of the catalogs printed for this semester. If you have asked to be added to our catalog mailing list but have not received one, we regret to say we cannot send you one for the current fall semester. We will make sure you get one for the spring 2026 semester when it is mailed in December.

In the meanwhile, you can use the resources on the CLL website. Go to the topical index of courses and click on a course name to see all its detail. You can also download an electronic copy of the catalog.

A parking permit is required to park on campus to attend CLL classes. To acquire a permit decal, take your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate to Room 104 of the Business and Education Building. You may also acquire a permit at Open House if you bring your license and registration. Permits expire each August—check the expiration date on your decal. When you come to campus, place your decal in the lower left corner of your windshield and park only in spaces with white lines; spaces with yellow lines are reserved for USCA faculty.

For the upcoming fall semester, our Technology classes will be held in the Business & Education Building, Room 238F. That is because university construction will displace the Tech Center, where those classes have been held.

That will be a sad day for the volunteers in the Tech Section. We have worked and taught in the Tech Center since January 2008. We worked there first in the SeniorNet organization. In January 2015, SeniorNet became the McGrath Computer Learning Center. In July 2021, McGrath merged with the Academy for Lifelong Learning, forming the Center for Lifelong Learning.

We're looking forward to a new classroom for Technology courses. We plan to make it even better than the Tech Center was.
