Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be over 50 to attend any Life, Leisure & Community Programs?
Most of the programs are scheduled to cater to our retired audience, however, anyone can attend. Just be sure you can keep up with them!
Are there any discounts?
Check back for our 2019 listing coming soon!
Are there any free events?
Yes. AARP hosts many events on CCSU’s campus, and these events are free.
Where do I park?
Each individual event will have specific driving and parking instructions. The events are at various locations, and we will provide the closest parking option.
Is there assistance to the event location?
Yes. We have handicap parking at every location. However, because we are a campus and you cannot drive to the front door of most buildings, we use a golf cart to transport those that need assistance. Please let us know when you register if you require assistance. Only authorized personnel can drive the carts, so we need to plan ahead.
