Term fees are refundable through the end of the second week of classes. After the end of the second week, there will be no refunds given. An administration charge of $10 will apply to any course cancellation unless replaced with another class. If an entire membership and\/or all classes are canceled, there will be a $25 administration charge.\u00a0 NOTE:\u00a0 In the Summer Term, there will be no refunds for dropped classes once the session begins. For all Cooking and Four-week classes, term fees are refundable through the end of the first week only.<\/p>\n
Any event cancellations or no shows after the Monday prior to an event by members for special one-day events will be charged $25 by OLLI. The member will not be able to sign up for future events or trips until this fee is paid. In case of emergency or sickness, within 24 hours of the event, we ask that the member call to notify the office or trip leader if possible. The notification procedure allows time for another member on the waitlist to be contacted to take your place. Please be fair and considerate to your fellow members.<\/p>\n
Topics included within the OLLI curriculum may evoke emotional and visceral reactions to social, religious, political, and economic events, which inherently have elements of human tragedy, and during the course of time, may create discord.\u00a0 Comments shared within the class should be voiced in a professional manner conducive to promoting civil discourse and intellectual honesty.<\/p>\n
Passionate dialogue is encouraged as long as opposing viewpoints are respected and the dignity of others is maintained.\u00a0 In the event that an issue arises which compromises this premise and is deemed detrimental to the learning environment (i.e. unwarranted personal attacks or unsolicited dialogue outside of the classroom environment), then the OLLI administration has the authority to remove a student or instructor from the class and\/or the program.<\/p>\n
The state of South Carolina has recently amended the State\u2019s firearms laws. It is no longer necessary for citizens eighteen years of age and older to obtain a permit to conceal or openly carry a firearm on public property.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Furman University would like to remind our students, visitors, faculty, and staff, that all University property is privately owned, and it is still unlawful to possess a concealed or openly carried firearm on campus without express written permission from the Chief of the Furman University Police Department.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Anyone found on campus with a firearm in their possession will be in violation of South Carolina 16-23-420 and subject to a felony arrest. \u00a0Upon conviction, violators may face a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment, fines up to five thousand dollars, or both.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The safety of the Furman University community is always our primary concern, if you observe firearms, other weapons, suspicious activity, or incidents you feel require police intervention, please call the Furman University Police Department at 864-294-2111 or report the information via the LiveSafe mobile app.<\/p>\n
