Assignments
No guarantees can be made to ensure enrollment in a particular class. If all twelve
classes identified by the participant are full, the participant will be assigned a different
class(es).
Tips on Selecting Classes
Each family tends to use a different method for selecting their twelve preferred choices –
whether it is the kids, grandparents or parents selecting the preferred classes. We
recommend families select a diverse set of preferred classes to get a broad view of MSU
and enhance your experience. This may also help to avoid the overwhelmingly popular
choices.
As an example: One year 430 of the 542 participants placed Lego Robotics among their
top ten choices. The instructor agreed to conduct the class during all four sessions:
however, there was only enough equipment for 30 people per class. So of the 430
requesting the class only 120 were able to receive it as a class choice.

List of Classes
Grandparents University 2014
If a majority of a family’s 12 choices are as popular as Lego Robotics, then it is possible
they may not be assigned any of their choices. Please note that many of the families who
have had this experience end up really enjoying the sessions assigned and have gotten
more from unknown topics than they ever considered possible. Some of these families
have become the biggest supporters of Grandparents University.
Due to scheduling issues, class assignments cannot be made until late spring and often
classes are limited based on equipment, instructor schedules, lab availability and other
restrictions.
