The mission of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center’s College For Life Long Learning is to provide affordable non-credit academic and enrichment programs to all ages of life long learners.

Stretch your mind and energize your spirit with the College for Life Long Learning (COLLL). Classes are available in a variety of topics from computer literacy and financial planning to literature, history, and religion. There are no tests, grades, or credit given. The only requirement is that you have a willingness to learn. Our upcoming class schedule may be found below. We no longer have a one price membership. All courses are offered "a la carte" with different fees required for each.

Special Note:  Please see the Center of Nursing Excellence for additional non-credit offerings.
