FAQs
ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES
Assistive Listening Devices are available for all
programs. Please call (309) 677-3900 for details.
DIETARY CONCERNS
All OLLI programs will provide options for vegan,
vegetarian, and gluten-free meals upon request. If
you have a dietary issue, please contact our of昀椀ce
at (309) 677-3900 at least two weeks before your
program, so we can meet your dietary needs.
DRIVING ON TRIPS
We encourage all of our trip participants to use
OLLI’s shuttle transportation, as many of our trip
sites have limited parking and require the group
to arrive at one time. Plus, traveling as a group
allows for more socializing!
GUESTS/INVITE A FRIEND
If you have a friend who has never been to OLLI
classes and would like him or her to attend as your
guest for one free session, please contact our of昀椀ce
at (309) 677-3900 at least one day in advance so
we can have a list of available classes prepared for
the visit. It is important to reserve this privilege for
those who haven’t yet experienced OLLI classes.
PROGRAM DETAILS and PARKING
For all programs an email will be sent prior to the
event regarding speci昀椀c details on times, location,
and parking. For learning trips, we provide
reserved parking in the CampusTown Shopping
Center, 1200 W. Main. Study groups meet at
locations throughout the Peoria area and have
ample parking.
PARKING FOR CLASSES
We offer a “park-and-ride” option so you can park in
large lots near campus and enjoy drop–off service
at the front door of the Michel Student Center. You
may choose to park at Shea Stadium, located near
the Ag Lab at the corner of University and Nebraska
avenues or Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1420
W. Moss Avenue, and the OLLI shuttle will transport
you to and from campus. OLLI provides parkand-ride service, because OLLI members are not
allowed to park anywhere on campus, including
the Visitor’s Lot. If you park on campus and receive
a ticket, you will not be eligible for an appeal
and will be required to pay the 昀椀ne.
CLASS PARKING PERMITS
For our members taking classes who have state–
issued handicapped placards or license plates
AND are physically unable to utilize our door–
to–door shuttle service from Shea Stadium and
Westminster Church, we have a very limited supply
of handicapped–accessible parking permits for use
during classes. At a cost of $10 each, these permits
allow you to park in a handicapped or white–
lined space on campus for all four class dates. All
requests must be made via telephone to (309)
677-3900 three weeks prior to the 昀椀rst day of inperson classes. When you call, please be prepared
to provide your license plate number, your placard
number and expiration date, and the make, model,
year, and color of your vehicle.
SCHOLARSHIPS
OLLI class scholarships are available for persons
who cannot afford membership fees, but who
have an interest in learning and wish to participate.
To request a con昀椀dential scholarship application,
please contact Catherine Lawless, Associate
Director of Continuing Education at clawless@
bradley.edu or call her at (309) 677-3900.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photographs are taken during all OLLI programs.
Your registration gives consent for any such
photographs to be used for advertising and
publicity purposes by Bradley University, its
licensees, and/or member organizations, and you
waive all claims for compensation for such use or
for damages.
WAITLISTS
Many of our programs, especially learning trips,
昀椀ll quickly. If you 昀椀nd a program full at the time
of your registration, please ask to be placed on
a waitlist so you can be called when another
member cancels or if we are able to increase the
program’s seating capacity.
WEATHER
In the rare case that Bradley University is closed
due to inclement weather, all OLLI programs
scheduled for that day will also be cancelled.
Please refer to local television and radio stations
for closing information.
