If you prefer to browse by topic, go to the index here.

You will be able to register for one or more courses and get your questions answered at Open House on August 12 at 9:00 AM in B&E Room 122 (online registration also opens at that time). See the Registration Page for more details.

Goodbye to the Tech Center

Posted: 6:21 AM 6/26/2025
For the upcoming fall semester, our Technology classes will be held in the Business & Education Building, Room 238F. That is because university construction will displace the Tech Center, where those classes have been held.

That will be a sad day for the volunteers in the Tech Section. We have worked and taught in the Tech Center since January 2008. We worked there first in the SeniorNet organization. In January 2015, SeniorNet became the McGrath Computer Learning Center. In July 2021, McGrath merged with the Academy for Lifelong Learning, forming the Center for Lifelong Learning.

We're looking forward to a new classroom for Technology courses. We plan to make it even better than the Tech Center was.

Parking Passes

Posted: 11:51 PM 5/2/2025
A parking permit is required to park on campus to attend CLL classes. To acquire a permit decal, take your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate to Room 104 of the Business and Education Building. You may also acquire a permit at Open House if you bring your license and registration. Permits expire each August—check the expiration date on your decal. When you come to campus, place your decal in the lower left corner of your windshield and park only in spaces with white lines; spaces with yellow lines are reserved for USCA faculty.

Registration Information

How to Register - Fall Semester Courses

You may register (enroll) for courses in person or online. Checks are accepted only for in-person registration. Pre-registration is required for all courses.

Registration for this semester opens 9:00 AM, August 12, 2025. Please do not submit registrations before this time as they will not be processed until the day after registration opens.

Classes for this semester begin August 18, 2025.

A membership fee of $35.00 per semester is required to take courses. Each course requires an additional fee ranging from $5.00 to $25.00 depending on the type of course (general interest or technology) and the number of class meetings.

The Center for Lifelong Learning is sorry for the inconvenience, but we are not able to take registrations over the phone or by mail. Please use one of the methods below.

In Person

  • At Open House (see time and location below). Knowledgeable staff will be there to answer any questions about the courses and take your registration. The benefit of registering at Open House is that you may immediately receive your CLL membership card and campus parking pass.
  • At the USC Aiken Office of Continuing Education in Room 104 of the Business and Education (B&E) Building beginning the day after registration opens. It is best to call 803-641-3741 before you come to confirm that someone will be available to help you.
  • Note that in-person registrations may be paid for by cash, check, or credit card.

Online

By Mail

The Center for Lifelong Learning is sorry for the inconvenience, but we are not able to take registrations by mail this semester due to requirements related to credit card processing. We hope to restore this option in the future.

While the registration form cannot be mailed in this semester, you may use it as a notepad for those courses you would like to register for.

Open House & Registration

August 12, 2025, 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM in Room 122 of the B&E Building.

Registration Notes

  • For questions about registration, call the USCA Office of Continuing Education, 803-641-3741.
  • Pre-registration is required for all classes. Registration closes for Technology courses at the end of the day on the Monday of the week before the class's first meeting and for other courses on the day before the first meeting.
  • Registration is first-come, first served and continues throughout the semester. Register early as some classes have limited class size or require time to prepare the appropriate number of class materials.
  • Please pay for your course with cash (for in person registration only), a check (for in-person registration only), or a credit card. Full payment and a completed registration form must be received by USC Aiken before your registration is complete. You will be sent a confirmation email after your registration is processed.
  • All courses and schedules are subject to change. Changes will be announced on the All The News page.
  • Because of limited space, you must attend only the sections of the class for which you register.
