Help information for the CLL Online Registration Program

Our Winter 2023 Online Registration will open at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 6th. At that time, you may begin registration by clicking on the link that will be labeled “Online Registration ” in the row of underlined links below our logo on our Home page. (Note - The registration link won't be functional until Online Registration is open/active.)Once the registration program is live, clicking on the registration link will open an active form that resembles the one in the graphic in the right column.

Safari Users Caution: The provider of our Online Registration program is aware that it does not work properly for registrants using the Safari browser. The provider has yet to find a solution. Together with the provider, we recommend that Safari users choose either the Firefox or the Google Chrome browser instead. Both are available via the App Store. Just open the store and search for Google Chrome, or Firefox. Choose one and then click on “Get.”

A tutorial video is available to guide you through the registration process. To view, click on: Registration Video Tutorial. This tutorial is for the September 2022 fall semester, but the process will be similar for January 2023. The video will cover much of what is discussed below. Viewing the video has the advantage that you can pause, rewind, and watch again whenever needed.

See Important Notice near bottom of page for a last-minute update.

The information provided below will also be in the left column of the registration form. It is repeated here to give you a preview of the process, which consists of 5 parts:
1. Student Information (gathered while creating your account)
2. Course Selection
3. Terms + Conditions
4. Confirm Selection
5. Checkout
Please note that the whole process is performed on our CLL website; you don't need to go to any external site.

If you've registered before, just click on the LOGIN button on the upper right side of the registration form.

If you haven't registered previously, click on the CREATE ACCOUNT button, also on the upper right. Be sure to read the information in the dotted box, then scroll down to the data input boxes. Fill in the requested information. Make sure to save your password for future log-in sessions.

FYI, if you exit and then Login again later, the registration program may automatically display the Checkout form that requests your credit card information. If you want a different form, just look at the top line that contains your name. Notice the elongated Navigation Bar - click on that bar to view the dropdown selection menu, and then choose Course Selection to finished selecting the courses you want. For a visual demo of how to Navigate within your account, watch the Registration Video Tutorial (see link above).(Continued column right)

The online registration program's Course Selection process/format will likely be unfamiliar to new students. Here are some helpful hints:

• The online registration provider's software requires our courses to be listed
in day/meeting-time order, not alphabetical order.
• Regardless of order, it is easy to locate a word or phase in the course listing by using a built-in search function that most browsers provide.
• To locate the item you want, first press CTL+F to open a search box near the top of the screen. Enter a word, number, or phrase that is likely to appear in a course title/description/day/meeting-time, then press the Enter key. (Go ahead: try it on this page!) The built-in process will highlight all occurrences of your entry. Scroll the page up or down to locate the highlighted text.
• When you are ready to select a course, click in the checkbox to the left of course title.
• Remember, you get up to 4 courses with your $60 membership fee. The $10 course cost on the right allows for proper charging of $10 for each additional course over 4 (courses 5, 6, etc.).

What is the CLL (Center for Life Long Learning)?

Established in 1993 on the University of West Florida campus in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, the CLL provides interesting and stimulating educational activities for persons who believe that learning never ends. In addition to educational classes, the CLL organizes other activities that include local social events and occasional out-of-town trips.
Our organization is a Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) and we are affiliated with the Road Scholar. There are more than 400 siimlar LLIs across the country.

Unlike most LLIs, the CLL has no paid staff; all our class leaders are volunteers who have acquired their expertise through their lifelong career experiences or favorite hobbies.
In 2004, our organization was incorporated as a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt charity. We use our enrollment fees to pay for classroom facility rentals, registration computers, office equipment, insurance, and miscellaneous other operating expenses. After meeting these on-going expenses, we earmark much of the remainder for scholarship and charitable awards. For more information, see Scholarship Awards

Paying an enrollment fee of $60 establishes membership and entitles students to take up to four CLL classes. Additional classes beyond four cost $10 each. There is no separate membership fee.
Important Notice: Due to issues with the provider of our Registration software, our usual discount structure is not working. (Normally: $60 Basic Membership Fee gives you your first 4 courses for free). We are sorry for the inconvenience. To make the system work at all for January 2023—and to keep registration affordable—we have temporarily adjusted the membership cost to $52 and added a cost of $2 for each course. This will make a typical enrollee pay about the same, or less than, the usual.
