Semester Memberships
Fall Semester September – January $150/semester Available for purchase at the start of the Fall semester.
Spring Semester February – June $150/semester Available for purchase at the start of the Spring semester.
Please choose a maximum of 6 courses. There is no limit on special event enrollment. Every effort will be made to accommodate your choices. However, there are always popular courses that fill quickly so it is important to get your enrollment in as soon as possible once the enrollment period for each semester begins.
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.
These can be found by visiting our Courses/Events page or in the OLLI catalog:
We’re sorry, but enrollments cannot be processed at the OLLI office at the Irvine Station.
In order to enroll in any of the courses, you must first be an OLLI member. Each member will need to enroll separately.
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.
Enroll early. 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.
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.
