Weekly Announcements - January 19-23, 2026
Registration Day is January 28th
Class registration will open at 9am on our website! We strongly encourage you to register online as that will give you the quickest access to the classes you are most interested in.
However, due to the new registration software - for this semester only - we will be offering additional in-person assistance on registration day!
Come to room 117 in the Ice House with a list of the classes you're interested in and have a payment method ready.
We will walk you through the registration process, get you signed up for your classes, and show you how to use the new registration platform so you can feel confident doing it your self in the future!
Please note staff and volunteers will be available for assistance during the following hours ONLY: January 28th 9:30-11:30am and 1-3pm in Ice House room 117.
Plan on waiting in the Ice House lobby until a space is available!
Please note that registering in person may result in a wait or a delay. We thank you in advance for your patience! We are all eager to get to signed up as quickly as possible, too.
For a quicker registration experience, we suggest registering online at home. While using technology can be daunting, remember: We are all Lifelong Learners! Part of being a Lifelong Learner is trying new things and keeping up with technology! We can do it!
Be on the look out for a "Set your Password" email!
If you are a current LLI member, be on the look out for an email from "JMU School of Professional & Continuing Ed" sometime next week.
It will come from the pce@jmu.edu email address.
This means you've been uploaded to our new registration system and will be ready to sign up for classes on Jan 28th!
If you've reset your password on Amazon or any other online shopping website, you already know how to do that here, too!
And if you've BOUGHT things from Amazon or any other online shopping website, we have full confidence that you'll be able to navigate the new system and register.
However, if you run into any issues or are feeling insecure, don't forget about our training sessions next week:
Jan 21, 9:30-11:30, Ice House 117
Jan 22, 1:30-3:30, Ice House 117
Jan 23, 9:30-11:30, Ice House 104
Space will be limited! Don't worry if you can't attend, we will also be sharing easy to follow, step-by-step registration documents and videos soon!

Winter Weather Reminder
The JMU Lifelong Learning Institute will follow the same delay and closure decisions as the greater JMU community. That means, if JMU is closed with all classes cancelled, the JMU LLI is also closed with all classes, lectures, events, and trips postponed. If JMU has a delayed opening or early closure, JMU LLI will also follow those instructions. Some instructors may also cancel class, even if JMU does not close. So when weather is on the horizon, please check your email regularly. We will do our best to relay this information via email, through the WHSV closures announcements, and on our social media. We hope these policies keep everyone safe this winter!
While we'll still use email as our primary communication tool, Facebook will also be a fun and interactive way to learn more about what is going at LLI! Announcements, events, throw back photos - you won't want to miss it! We just updated some of our photos so check it out.
To ensure you see our posts both "Like" and "Follow" LLI. The more you interact with our posts (likes, comments, shares) the more you'll see on your feed (instead of annoying ads!)
Excited to see you online!
We hope to see you!
