Thank you for your interest in proposing to teach a course with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Humboldt State University (OLLI at HSU). Please use this form to propose any class you would like OLLI to offer in the fall.

It is possible that we may be able to offer some in-person classes or field trips in the fall. We anticipate the majority of our classes will remain online or have a hybrid format. There will be many factors to consider, including the availability of classroom space. If you only want to teach your class in a face-to-face format do not check the virtual synchronous or hyflex options when given the choice of class type.

All online classes will be set up by the OLLI office and you will be provided with a zoom link. An OLLI host will open each meeting and you can choose the level of help you would like.

Fall 2021 classes will be held between Sept. 20 and Dec.10.

Fall course proposals are due now. A final review will be on July 27.

Fall Black out dates: No classes will be offered on Mondays between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. No classes on holidays or when the HSU campus is closed: Thurs., Nov. 11; Nov. 22-26; Dec. 20-31.
