    How to Register - Spring Semester Courses

    You may register (enroll) for courses in person or online. Checks are accepted only for in-person registration. Pre-registration is required for all courses.

    Registration for this semester opens 9:00 AM, January 8, 2025. Please do not submit registrations before this time as they will not be processed until the day after registration opens.

    Classes for this semester begin January 13, 2025.

    A membership fee of $35.00 per semester is required to take courses. Each course requires an additional fee ranging from $5.00 to $28.00 depending on the type of course (general interest or technology) and the number of class meetings.

    The Center for Lifelong Learning is sorry for the inconvenience, but we are not able to take registrations over the phone or by mail. Please use one of the methods below.

    In Person

    • At Open House (see time and location below). Knowledgeable staff will be there to answer any questions about the courses and take your registration. The benefit of registering at Open House is that you may immediately receive your CLL membership card and campus parking pass.
    • At the USC Aiken Office of Continuing Education in Room 104 of the Business and Education (B&E) Building beginning the day after registration opens. It is best to call 803-641-3741 before you come to confirm that someone will be available to help you.
    • Note that in-person registrations may be paid for by cash, check, or credit card.

    Online

    By Mail

    The Center for Lifelong Learning is sorry for the inconvenience, but we are not able to take registrations by mail this semester due to requirements related to credit card processing. We hope to restore this option in the future.

    While the registration form cannot be mailed in this semester, you may use it as a notepad for those courses you would like to register for.

    Open House & Registration

    January 8, 2025, 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM in Rooms 122 & 116 of the B&E Building.
