• A Class Coordinator is assigned for every LLI class, club or event. The Coordinator is your point-of-contact for all information and questions concerning the class.
• YOU MUST BE REGISTERED IN A CLASS TO ATTEND. If you are not registered, you may contact the Class Coordinator to see if space is available. Similarly, if you ARE registered but cannot attend, please also inform the coordinator so that your seat might be made available to someone else.
• CLASS AND E-MAIL REMINDERS. Approximately one week prior to the class, the coordinator will email a reminder to all registered students.   The email will also include log-in information if the class is to held online (e.g., via Zoom or some other media).
