You must be a member of LIFE in the current academic year before you can register for classes. See the Membership pages for instructions on how to become a LIFE member or  renew your membership.

Unless specifically exempted on the website, registration is required for all courses, walks, clubs, or other events that you wish to attend, even for those that are free of charge. 

Registration Dates for Courses

There are four academic terms: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Registration opens several weeks before the start of each term. Exact dates will be announced as each academic term approaches.

The Course Registration Process

Registration for all courses, will commence on the date and time listed.  

LIFE Members can register for all or any of LIFE's online courses when the registration buttons appear.

You will need to join as a new member or renew your membership before you can register for lectures, seminars or special events.

Once a course is open for registration, new registrations are accepted until the course is full or until classes have begun. You can add your name to the waitlist for a course, in which case you will be notified if a spot becomes available.
