FEE WAIVERS
The Lifelong Learning Institute is committed to accessible and affordable educational opportunities for NRV residents. Requests for fee waivers should be addressed to the LLI Program Coordinator at 540-231-1725. All requests are confidential.

COURSE WAIT LISTS
If a desired course is full, you will have the opportunity to add your name to a wait list. If an opening occurs, wait listed members will receive an email with a link to add on the wait listed class. Members will have 48 hours to either add the course or remove themselves from the wait list.

GUESTS
LLI courses are intended for LLI members and official partner organizations only. LLI students are not permitted to share Zoom access links for courses or special events with any unregistered person.

TO ADD A COURSE
If you are already registered for the term and wish to add another course, please contact the CPE Registrar at 540-231-5182 or cpeinfo@vt.edu for assistance. If the course is not full, it may be added to your schedule.

TO DROP A COURSE OR EVENT
If you need to drop a course before it has begun or an event for which you registered, please notify the the CPE Registrar (231-5182 or cpeinfo@vt.edu)

REFUNDS
Membership fees are not refundable. However, if LLI cancels a course for any reason, or a wait list request cannot be accommodated, and the member has not enrolled for any other activity, the membership fee and the course fee may be refunded.

A member must cancel enrollment one week prior to the first session of the class to receive a refund of the course fee.

All schedule changes and last-minute class cancellations will be communicated by email from the Class Assistant (or Instructor). Email is our primary means of communication. Please check your email regularly.
