What types of courses and activities does LLI offer?
LLI offers a mix of short-term courses, workshops, seminars and lectures.

What about homework, test, grades and other requirements?
LLI courses require no prerequisites, grades or exams. Some instructors may suggest reading certain texts and other materials for participants to gain full benefit from the experience.

Are classes or events ever cancelled?
Every effort is made not to cancel LLI classes. However a minimum enrollment is set for most classes and a course will be cancelled if the minimum enrollment is not met.

Where are courses held?
LLI courses may be held at Harper’s main campus, Harper Professional Center (HPC), or Northeast Center (NEC). Many classes are held at the College’s extension sites, where our community partners help us provide LLI courses and events that are accessible to everyone.

Free parking is available at all LLI course locations. See our Visit Harper College page for maps, directions and links to our extension sites.

What are the fees?
LLI course fees are listed after each course description and vary. Courses are priced:

• the same fee (or free) for both members and nonmembers
• the fee listed, but only available to members (members-only courses)
