FAQs

The office is located on the second floor of the Downtown branch of the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library in the alcove to the left of the Reference Desk. Office hours are Tuesday mornings, 10 – Noon, and Thursday afternoons, 1 – 4.
LearningQUEST is open to adults of all ages 19 and older interested in lifelong learning.
Membership dues are $20 for the calendar year, January–December, and are paid annually. The calendar year is divided into two terms: January–June (Spring) and July–December (Fall). New or renewing members can submit dues any time after January first of the current calendar year. New members who register for the first time after October first will receive free membership for the remainder of that calendar year. Any overpayment of dues will be considered a donation to LearningQUEST and will not be refunded.
There is a term fee of $30 for each term, which allows members to register for unlimited courses and/or trips within that term as long as space is available. Note that supplies for some classes, as well as costs for trips and excursions, may require additional fees.
• Membership dues and term fees are encouraged to be paid with one check, and couples may combine their payments on a single check.
• If you are registering for a trip that involves additional costs:
□ Special Trip – A separate check must be collected at Rally Day, or afterwards. Registration is not complete until payment is received.
□ Local Trip – The Trip coordinator will contact registrants with instructions for payment.

All paid registrants will be notified of their course status by email or US Postal mail if they do not have an email address. If course limits have been exceeded, they may be placed on a waitlist and will be notified if an opening occurs. A reminder email will be sent to all registrants at least five days before the course starts.

Registration information can be found in the Trips and Excursions section of the catalog. Members may sign up for most trips on the same registration form used for class registration. If a trip involves additional costs, see the fees section on this page.

The LearningQUEST Registrar will maintain a waitlist of students in order of their registration and, working with the instructor and coordinator, may:

Review class size limits to see if they can be increased and check if larger accommodations are available.
Schedule additional sessions in the same term OR repeat the course in a later term.
When will an instructor or coordinator know how many are enrolled in his/her course?

The registrar may be contacted for an enrollment number; however, registration continues throughout the term as long as space is available, so the number may change. At least five days prior to the first course session, the registrar will email a sign-in attendance sheet of registered students to the course coordinator.

Notify the registrar at Registrar@lquest.org as soon as possible if you cannot attend a course for which you have registered, or if you wish to add a class. You may also drop/add online at lquest.org through your account. This is especially important in courses that are closed with a waitlist.

As long as the course is not full guests are welcome to attend a single session before paying the appropriate membership dues and term fee.
