Osher Online Registration

Online registration is now available for all Osher Institute classes at the University of Richmond.

To ensure a smooth transition to online registration, please familarize yourself with the following guidelines. In addition, review the FAQ page to learn more about our online registration system.

Registering for Classes

Once you have confirmed or purchased your membership, you may register for classes. You may register for up to 10 classes in a single transaction.

You will not be able to register for classes if you are not an active member and are not logged into the system.

Planning Your Successful Registration Experience

To ensure speedy checkout, there is a 10 course limit in the online shopping cart. We recommend that you follow these guidelines for a successful registration experience.

  1. Plan ahead. When the print catalog arrives in the mail or is posted online, spend time identifying your top picks.
  2. Top picks first. Register for your top picks first. You can register for up to 10 classes in a single transaction.
  3. Other picks second. Delay registering for lower priority classes until after the initial rush on registration day.
  4. Spread out transactions. You may check out as many times as you’d like. There is no penalty for multiple checkouts.
  5. Be patient. You can contact staff to check on the status of waitlisted classes, but after the initial registration rush.

Completing Your Registration

  2. Use the left menu options to select top priority classes first.
