Seat Cap:<\/strong>&nbsp;The number of seats available for early registration&nbsp;<strong>will be capped at 30%<\/strong>&nbsp;of the available seats in a class.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> <strong>B. Single-Class Limit:<\/strong>&nbsp;Members eligible for early registration may register early for&nbsp;<strong>ONLY ONE CLASS.&nbsp;<\/strong>They will be able to enroll in additional classes during the general registration period. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>C. Active Member Requirement:<\/strong>&nbsp;Early registration will continue to be<strong>&nbsp;limited to \u201cactive members\u201d. &nbsp;<\/strong>As is currently the case, \u201cactive members\u201d are those volunteers who have provided substantive volunteer support during the prior semester, as determined by their committee chairs or the Executive Committee.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> <strong>D. Waitlist:&nbsp;<\/strong>We are continuing to use our <strong>waitlist system<\/strong> this semester, so that members closed out of a class can indicate their interest and be notified if a seat becomes available.&nbsp; <strong><em>If an opening&nbsp;occurs in a class that has a waitlist<\/em><\/strong>,&nbsp;members will be informed according to their chronological placement on the waitlist. At that point, you will have the option to be moved from &#8216;waitlist&#8217; to &#8216;registered&#8217;. This may require you to drop classes or alter your schedule in order to stay within the 3 in-person course limit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Badges<\/strong>&#8211;Help us save trees by re-using your badge from last semester. Bring your name badge with you when attending In-Person (on- and off-campus classes). <strong><em>If you need a new badge<\/em><\/strong>, you will be able to make a new handwritten one with materials available in the Hospitality Room in Kenyon Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>4. Parking<\/strong>\u2014<strong><em>We are permitted to park at Kenyon Hall, the North Lot and the lot on the far side of the Athletic Building<\/em><\/strong>, which are authorized for use by Vassar LLI on Fridays.&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><em>Parking is not permitted in the circle drive by Blodgett Hall.<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If there is no parking available at the three authorized locations, you may park elsewhere on campus.&nbsp;<em>Parking is only permitted in designated spaces<\/em>&nbsp;(between marked white lines (or blue lines for handicapped spaces)), and is on a first-come\/first-served basis.&nbsp;<strong>Wherever you park,&nbsp;make sure to have your parking pass clearly visible on your car dashboard<\/strong>; if it is not, you are likely to be ticketed. Note, that to use any of the handicapped accessible spaces, you MUST have a permit showing you are authorized to use this designated parking.<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>5. Van<\/strong>\u2014Because parking on campus is so tight, there may not be space at Kenyon Hall, the North Lot or the far lot of the Athletic Building;&nbsp;accordingly, members may need to find places to park at various locations around campus.We will provide a shuttle van circulating between the&nbsp;<strong>South Lot, the Athletic Building Lot, North Lot and Kenyon Hall<\/strong>&nbsp;all day; if you are parked in another location, you will need to walk over to the van\u2019s pick-up\/drop-off spot in one of those locations (pick-up\/drop-off spots will be marked).&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Please be sure to leave extra time to get to class, particularly if you plan to use the van&#8211;we only have one van making the rounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br \/><strong>6. Hospitality Room in Kenyon Hall<\/strong>&#8211;The Hospitality Room is open Fridays 9:00 am &#8211; 3:00 pm. &nbsp;Feel free to stop by any time during the day.
