The College for Seniors at Washington County Community College provides an open, stimulating learning community for intellectual growth and personal development for all seniors fifty years of age or older.

Offered through a variety of formats, the courses are taught by talented, volunteer instructors who are experts in their fields. There are no tests or grades, and no prior diploma or college education is required.

If you require a special accommodation in order to participate in this program, please contact Dora Adams, Accessibility Specialist at 454-1093.

Dates and Times

The sessions will run on various dates and times beginning on January 28 through April 25, 2008.

Please check the schedule carefully for day, time and location of sessions.

If possible, classes cancelled due to inclement weather will be rescheduled.

Location

All classes are held at the Calais Campus of Washington County Community College unless otherwise specified. Certain classes may require field trips or an alternate delivery location. If a field trip is part of the program, the college will provide transportation to and from the campus.

Costs

Each individual course is $5. Some courses may require an additional fee for materials and supplies. Specific fees and/or supplies will be indicated in the course description.

Membership

A $25 membership fee paid at the beginning of each term will entitle "members" to take all senior college "leisure" offerings during that term for the $25 cost. This is exclusive of any additional supply or fee cost, specially designed and/or credit courses. Members will also be part of the Maine Senior College Network and would not have to pay a membership fee at any of the other 15 senior colleges in Maine.

The membership fee would need to be paid in full prior to registration. Those who choose not to become members and choose to "pay-as-you-go" will still be able to take courses on an individual basis for a $5 fee per course plus any supplies or additional fees pertaining to a particular course.
