It is the Enrichment Academy and new catalog is coming out later this week.

Lifelong Learning College - another one of those things that was great that isn't like it used to be. Two-Dollar Tuesdays at Church on the Square, etc. Life goes on.

The catalog arrived in today’s Daily Sun. Lots of interesting classes.

Is the catalog available online?

The new catalog is not yet available on-line. However, if you go to the on-line registration page the new course listings and dates are available.

interesting that they are only offering 3 "Beer Tasting" classes Beer Tasting101, 102 and 201

given the average age in TV, you'd think they'd offer some 300 and 400 level classes, as well as some post graduate studies

I'm pretty sure that I could qualify for advance placement...

and the catalog says that it's from 5:30 to 7:30?? It will be fun watching the reaction when the prof says "okay it's 7:30, you're all shut off"

The catalog came with Wednesdays paper.

When looking at prices it says Sumter resident or non resident pricing. Does that mean if you are in Lake or Marion county area of villages you pay non resident??? I thought enrichment academy was village resident perk not by county

I have a child with disabilities but I am NOT a huge fan of the blatant misuse of the ADA sometimes and the lawyers who request things like deaf interpreters for every class.

Do NOT cast blame on the developers for this. I think they used common sense.

ADA is a federal law from 1990 if it takes lawyers to make it work then let it be, This program has nothing to do with the Developer. https://www.districtgov.org/departments/recreation/enrichment-academy/provided/ADAGuidelinePacket.pdf

Am I seeing this correctly, you don't need to be a Villages resident ? When you create an account it asks if you're a resident or non resident in at least two spots.

That is correct and it was correct of the Lifelong Learning College too.

You have to take a test to get into advanced placement

Newbie, five-month lurker here. I have learned much from this forum!

My husband and I purchased a home last February, but will not retire for two more years. One of us comes down about every two months to check things out. I have found several classes that are of interest while I will be down for two weeks at the end of October. Here are my two questions:

1. Even though I will be there for a short time, would I not be considered a resident since we own a home?

2. The information page for each class indicates a resident and non-resident fee. Does that pertain to the entire Villages or just the particular neighborhood/county where the class is occurring?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.If you own a home and have the Villages ID card you're a resident of everywhere. :)
