Printed Catalogs 'Sold Out'

Posted: 2:56 PM 8/18/2025
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.

Classes Start Tomorrow

Posted: 10:00 AM 8/17/2025
The first class up will be Exploring Windows at 1:30 PM. If you are registered for this course—or any other Technology course—remember to go to Room 238F of the Business & Education Building, not to the Tech Center where Technology classes were previously taught. You may enter the B&E Building from Parking Lot C or from the Quad. Take the stairs or elevator to the second floor. Click the following link for a map showing the location of Room 238F.

Registration Information

How to Register - Fall 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, August 12, 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 August 18, 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 $25.00 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

August 12, 2025, 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM in Room 122 of the B&E Building.

Registration Notes

  • For questions about registration, call the USCA Office of Continuing Education, 803-641-3741.
  • Pre-registration is required for all classes. Registration closes for Technology courses at the end of the day on the Monday of the week before the class's first meeting and for other courses on the day before the first meeting.
  • Registration is first-come, first served and continues throughout the semester. Register early as some classes have limited class size or require time to prepare the appropriate number of class materials.
  • Please pay for your course with cash (for in person registration only), a check (for in-person registration only), or a credit card. Full payment and a completed registration form must be received by USC Aiken before your registration is complete. You will be sent a confirmation email after your registration is processed.
  • All courses and schedules are subject to change. Changes will be announced on the All The News page.
  • Because of limited space, you must attend only the sections of the class for which you register.
