Osher Online Courses

About Osher Online™ Courses

Osher Online™ (OOL) offers fully online courses for Osher members across the country! These courses were created by the Osher National Resource Center (NRC) at Northwestern University, whose staff provides moderators and technical assistance.

Essential Facts About Osher Online™ Courses:

• Each course takes place over six weeks, with 1.5-hour sessions every week.
• The cost is $75 per person, per course.
• Sessions take place via Zoom.
• Sessions are not recorded, so live attendance is essential.
• An Osher at Dartmouth membership is required to register for any of these courses.

How it Works

After registering for Osher Online™ courses, students will receive a welcome email from Osher NRC that includes an Osher Online™ username and password, as well as a link to the Osher Online™ website. The website holds the class Zoom link, syllabus, discussion board, and Customer Care contact information. Students will also receive an invitation to a pre-class orientation with information on how to access courses (see the "Before Your First Class!" section below).

Support for Courses

While registration is processed through Osher at Dartmouth, support for Osher Online™ courses is provided by the Osher Online™ Team at the Northwestern University School of Professional Studies. For assistance, call them at (312) 503-5555 or email osheronline@northwestern.edu.

Before Your First Class!

Once you register for any Osher Online™ course, we strongly encourage you to attend the orientation session (date to come) (a registration link will be provided after you register for one of the courses below). You can also watch their Member Orientation recording to ensure you are fully prepared for your first day of class. Afterwards, practice logging in at www.osheronline.net!
