  • By alphabetical order in the index at the end of this catalog

Enrollment

We're sorry, but enrollments cannot be processed at the OLLI office at the Irvine Station.

Every effort will be made to accommodate your choices. Classes fill up quickly. You are most likely to get the courses you want the earlier you enroll, however, you may enroll anytime during the semester providing there is space in the course.

Courses

  • In order to enroll in any of the courses, you must first become an OLLI member.
  • Each member will need to enroll separately.
  • You may choose a maximum of 6 courses; six weeks after registration begins, you may enroll in additional courses, if space is available.

Special Events

  • Note, you do not need to be an OLLI member if you only enroll in Special Events (SE's).
  • There is no limit to the number of special event enrollments.

Methods of Enrollment

Use either the Online Enrollment or the traditional enrollment process using the Membership/Enrollment form. In either case, it is best to first visit our Courses/Events page to determine which courses you would like to take.

Payments

Membership and course fees can be paid either by credit card or by check. Please make checks payable to UC Regents.

Confirmations

Retain a copy of the membership/enrollment documentation for your records. For those enrolling online you will receive an e-mail confirmation immediately. For all other enrollments you will be mailed a confirmation.

Waitlists

If you enroll and you choose a course that has reached its maximum enrollment you will automatically be placed on the waitlist for that course. Your confirmation will include both enrolled courses and waitlisted courses. You will not be automatically enrolled in your waitlisted courses if space becomes available. Waitlists are managed by the course facilitators. You will be notified by telephone or e-mail as space becomes available. You are encouraged to follow-up with the course facilitator. Contact information for all course facilitators is found in the OLLI catalog or on the Courses/Events page on the website.

Dropping a Course

If, after enrolling in a course, you find that you cannot attend, please notify the course facilitator promptly so that your place in the class can be filled by the next person on the waiting list. Contact information for all course facilitators is found in the OLLI catalog or on the Courses/Events page on the website.

Enrolling Online

If you choose to enroll online you will be notified immediately whether you are in a course or not, and receive an e-mail confirmation of course enrollment as part of the on-line enrollment process.

  1. View Courses/Events page or refer to the OLLI catalog to choose courses before enrolling online. Pre-pick your courses because once you begin adding courses to your cart you will have 20 minutes to complete your transaction.
  2. If you are enrolling on-line for the first time, you will need to Create an Account.
  3. If you are a current or previous OLLI member, and have never created an online account, you will need your Reference ID #. This is a nine digit number that can be found on a previous enrollment confirmation document in the upper right hand corner. If you still need assistance, contact Student Services at (949) 824-5414.
  4. You will also need your unique e-mail address, so if you have been sharing an e-mail address with a spouse, you will need to decide which one of you keeps that address and set up a new e-mail address for the other. For new members you will need to be prepared to enter your social security number and your unique e-mail address.
  5. Follow the directions for enrolling online until you receive your confirmation of enrollment. You may use VISA, MASTERCARD or AMERICAN EXPRESS for payment.
  6. Begin by logging in.

If you need further assistance with the online enrollment process, please contact Student Services at (949) 824-5414.
