Privacy Policy

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at KU does not share, sell, or rent its mailing lists. You have our assurance that any information you provide will be held in confidence by the Institute.

We occasionally use mailing lists that we have leased. If you receive unwanted communication from the Institute, it is because your name appears on a list we have acquired from another source. In this case, please accept our apologies.

Class Format

Osher members enjoy interactive and participatory teaching and learning environments. Generally, courses require no homework, out-of-class preparation, or testing.

Class Cancellation

Although highly unlikely, a class may be canceled due to under-enrollment or some other circumstance beyond the Institute’s control. Members will be notified of a course cancellation and have the option of transferring their registration to another course or requesting a refund.

Refund Policy

If there is no stated deadline, a written or e-mailed request for a refund will be honored up to one week before a course begins. A $30 fee will be charged for returned checks.
