  • Can I bring a guest?

    OLLI students are welcome to bring a single guest one time during the term only if prior approval has been granted. To request pre-approval, call our office at (615) 343-0700. We reserve the right to refuse unapproved guests.

  • How do I get a name badge?

    A name badge for the current term will be available at the first day of class at the registration table along with lanyards. Wearing the current term’s name badge is mandatory and Classroom Assistants will be enforcing this policy. Please make sure your name badge is visible when entering class.

  • What happens if a class is cancelled?

    It is rare that we cancel classes, but it does happen occasionally. Here's how it's handled, depending on the situation:

    Weather-Related 

    • We will post a cancellation notice on the website homepage no later than 8 a.m.
    • Cancellations will be televised on Channel 2. The listing will show as OLLI at Vanderbilt.
    • We will not call or send emails regarding weather-related cancellations.

    Non-Weather Related

    We will post a cancellation notice on the website homepage, and sent an email to enrolled members. For this reason, it is extremely important for all students to provide us with an up-to-date email address and to check your email on a regular basis.

I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was an intellectually stimulating experience to teach students from a more experienced generation about music, various identity theories, and controversial subjects such as race and privilege. I learned a great deal from them, too!
