Thank you for your cooperation for Elder Registration Jan. 12, 2012
It was wonderful to see about 120 elders gathered in the Blue Lounge in spite of the inclement weather January 12th!!  We appreciated your attention and patience.  We understand that although lines still formed, they moved along much more smoothly.  Thank you for your help!
If you missed elder registration the good news is you can still register by going directly to the Registrar's office.  The bad news is that you may encounter long lines as traditioanl students and others take advantage of the "add/drop" period which ends on January 30.  Please remember that if you registered for a course but are unable or decide not to continue, you must submit a drop form to the Registrar so that that space will be available to someone else. 
WSU generously offers free courses (on a space available basis) to MA residents age 60 and older.  Free tuition, no fees.  ID is required at time of registration: senior ID card, license or birth certificate.
Classes begin January 17, 2012
