Room 230-240 Scheman,
Iowa State Center

The preview of courses is an opportunity for you to hear full details of the courses from the instructors and coordinators and to register for courses, if you have not already done so.

There are many courses that may appeal to you. How will you decide among them? This is the time when many students make that decision. If you already know which courses you want to take, you may send in your registration at any time. Class assignments are made on a first-come, first-assigned basis according to the postmark date of your mailed registration or the date you register at the preview.

Bring your friends, neighbors, and relatives to the preview. College for Seniors is for everyone aged 50 and older. This is a program to enjoy—no tests and no grades. You earn the satisfaction of knowing you are doing something for yourself.

Most courses will be held this fall at the ISU Alumni Center, 420 Beach Ave., Ames.
