Responsibility on Tours and Class Trips:
The tours and class associated field trips of the JMU-LLI require walking and the physical capability to access sites that may have structural obstacles. By participating, members understand that should they require personal assistance to participate in tours/field trips, they are responsible for securing such assistance. That responsibility includes registering a person with LLI who can and will be totally responsible for providing all assistance. That person must register as a member and pay the cost of the tour/trip. A LLI member requiring assistance in order to attend class shall be allowed to attend class with an aide at no extra fee.
Directions and Parking:
- Will be included in your class confirmation letter.
- LLI courses held at JMU locations (except Blue Ridge Hall) require parking permits. Permits will be mailed to members along with their confirmation letters. Parking permits should be placed on the front dash of your vehicle so they can be clearly seen through the windshield.
Refunds/Cancellations:
As approved by the Administration/Finance Committee and the Advisory Board, full refunds (except membership fees) will be issued up to the beginning of courses. Please allow 30 days for refunds. No refunds will be issued after the first class meets. Please see specific trip for refund/cancellation policy.
LLI Scholarships:
The JMU-LLI is pleased to be able to offer class scholarships. Please encourage individuals who may otherwise hesitate to join us to inquire about a scholarship by calling the LLI office.
Financial Contributions:
Occasionally we are asked how members can make financial contributions which would directly benefit LLI. Contributions may be made through the JMU Foundation-Department of Social Work Foundation Account with a designation for LLI. Make checks payable to: James Madison Foundation. Include on the memo line of your check: SW/LLI/J 14806. Mail your check to: Department of Social Work, Attention: R. Ann Myers, MSC 4303, Harrisonburg, VA 22807.
Miscellaneous
- Due to financial constraints and the numerous locations LLI classes are held, we will no longer be providing beverages or snacks at classes. You may bring your own covered beverages and snacks or, in most locations, vending machines are available.
- A reminder --- please either turn off or silence all cell phones and other devices. These have become quite a disruption in classes.
- To encourage intergenerational co-learning, some courses may include JMU undergraduate students as participants. We welcome the opportunity to connect with these students and hope you will too.
- LLI has purchased “clip on” name badges. Badges will be distributed to all members who participate in a course or trip. Please wear your badges during LLI functions to assist staff, and new and returning members, in becoming familiar with your name and return them at the end of the five weeks.
- Common Interest Groups - If you are interested in starting or becoming a member of a common interest group, please call the LLI office at 540-568-2923.
