“I want to cultivate the seed that was placed in me
until the last small twig has grown.” —Käthe Kollwitz
German artist Käthe Kollwitz, July 8, 1867–April 22, 1945,
www.kaethe-kollwitz.de, created an impressive body of
work as a graphic artist, painter, printmaker, and sculptor.
Recognized as one of the foremost artists of social protest
in the 20th century, she led a productive, inspiring life
despite suffering terrible hardships under Hitler in World
War II. Her quote epitomizes the essence of lifelong
learning: cultivating your potential and enjoying the
riches of the results.
In the SAGE program, we strive to give you the opportunity
to discover the seeds of learning within you, to nurture
them, and to let them grow. This summer, consider taking
a class that you’ve always thought about, but never tried.
Water the seeds of your curiosity and see what blooms!
You may discover a whole new world.
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) It’s time to share your experience!
Are you ready to get involved and give back to your community?
RSVP offers seniors age 55 and older, with a lifetime of experience, the opportunity to pay it forward
by volunteering for government agencies and non-profit organizations in Prince George’s County.

Important College Registration Policy
The policy of Prince George’s Community College is to prohibit enrollment in multiple classes meeting
at the same time, on the same day and dates.
Students must choose the classes they want to attend and make sure there are no conflicts of time/day/date
on the schedules. This may mean registering for a different section of a desired class.
Teachers are instructed not to allow students to attend classes for which they are not officially registered.
Please be careful to register for all classes—but be mindful of others.
The SAGE Program is a great value, but please only register for classes that you plan to attend.
Age Restriction
Although the SAGE Program permits students under 60 years old to pay tuition and participate in some
classes, many senior class sites have an age restriction. Therefore, anyone under the age of 60 wanting to
enroll in a SAGE class must first get permission from the class site manager to make sure he or she meets
the age participation requirements. Some site limitations are listed in the Site Directory on pages 6–7.

Three Ways to Register for SAGE Classes
1 Online through Owl Link
Owl Link is PGCC’s online registration system. It is the fastest, safest, easiest, and best way to get the classes you want.
You must register no later than one day before class begins.
A. Go to the college’s home page at www.pgcc.edu.
B. Click on “Owl Link” which is in small print at the top of the page. This will take you to Owl Link’s MAIN MENU.
NEW STUDENT: You have never attended a PGCC program or class.
To register, follow the steps below.
You will be e-mailed an Owl Link Username/ID and temporary password (which you modify to become
your permanent password). Please retain them to facilitate all future Owl Link transactions.
1. From the MAIN MENU, click on Workforce Development and Cont. Ed. Students.
2. Under Cont. Ed. Registration, click on Enroll and Register for Courses.

RETURNING STUDENT: You have previously enrolled in any course at PGCC.
You will need to LOG IN to Owl Link in order to register.
1. If you have received a Username/ID and password previously but do not remember your login information,
follow the appropriate links on the login screen to retrieve your Username/ID and/or password.
2. If you have registered for any PGCC classes before but have never received a Username/ID and password,
you must contact the Help Desk at 301-546-0637 or e-mail helpdesk@pgcc.edu to receive them.
