أغجاض±²¥ Mini Courses

The Norris Mini Course program offers a wide variety of non-credit, recreational, classes for adults four times a year, beginning in October, January, April, and July. Established in 1973, the program continues to offer over 30 recreational courses. Our classes offer intense individual attention while operating in a relaxed, informal environment. Registration is open to the أغجاض±²¥ أغجاض±²¥ and the public. We welcome students from Chicago, Skokie, Wilmette, Evanston, or anywhere in the Chicagoland area!

Most classes take place once a week in the evening, in an attempt to provide an escape from the daily academic or work routine. These classes are a fantastic way to unwind, make new friends, and learn something new, all at the same time. Most Mini Courses are held inside the Norris University Center, located on أغجاض±²¥ University’s beautiful Evanston campus.

Applications for subsidies for Fall 2025 are open.

The Norris Mini Course subsidy program is designed to provide financial aid to those who are interested in enrolling but are facing financial barriers. Anyone interested in enrolling in a Norris Mini Course may apply to the subsidy program.  Funds are limited and will be granted on a first-come first served basis. 

Subsidies are given from $10 - $30 and Mini Courses do not require any proof of income to qualify for one. We have a finite funding course, so we rely on an honor system to ensure that funding is granted to those who need it.

If you are approved for one, the subsidy is applied to the Regular registration fee for an unregistered course. Subsidies are not given on courses that students have registered for and are requesting a subsidy portion refund.

Limitations

  • Subsidies are only available for 4 - 8-week courses. One-day workshops and courses with 1 - 2 sessions do not qualify.
  • Subsidies are not granted to students who have already registered for a course.
  • Subsidies may not be used in combination with any other discount.
  • Subsidy if approved, is good for 1 course per person per quarter.
  • The deadline for subsidy for wheel throwing courses is 9 AM on Friday, August 15th. Applicants will be notified before registration starts on Monday, August 18th. 

Withdrawal and Cancellation 

Fees and policies are still applicable on all subsidy assistance registrations.
