Registration FAQs

Three methods for enrollment:

• Online: If you are enrolling online for the first time, you will need to Create an Online Account. Please note, spouses/couples cannot share an account, each member is required to have their own account with their own email address on file.
  After logging into your account, navigate to the OLLI Courses page, and add your courses to your cart. Please keep in mind, once you begin adding courses to your cart, you only have 20 minutes to complete your transaction.
  Follow the directions for enrolling online until you receive your confirmation of enrollment. You may use VISA, MASTERCARD, or AMERICAN EXPRESS for payment.
• By phone: Call Student Services at (949) 824-1010. Please have your list of course titles and course numbers ready to give to the Student Services representative.
  UC Irvine does not collect credit card numbers over the phone. After providing your registration information, the Student Services representative will email you a link to pay for your membership.
• By mail: Pick up an enrollment form from the OLLI classroom or print one from the website.
  • Please make checks payable to the UC Regents.
  • Please send a separate check and enrollment form for each person registering.
  • Send completed forms to:
    OLLI/DCE Student Services

Student Services can assist you in creating a web account and answer additional questions you may have. They can be reached at (949) 824-1010, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

A Social Security number (SSN) and birthdate are necessary to create a web account. This information is used to verify an individual’s identity and to ensure that duplicate records are not created.

If you choose not to provide your SSN, but still wish to create a web account, contact Student Services, who will create the web account on your behalf. They can be reached at (949) 824-1010, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

No, creating a web account does not automatically sign you up for membership. You will need to add the membership to your cart and make your payment during registration.

The OLLI Remote Learning Center (ORLC) is a separate account from your UC Irvine DCE online account. Your UC Irvine DCE account is only used to pay for your membership and selecting classes or special events.

There are no refunds for memberships.

All OLLI at UC Irvine Special Events and Trips are non-refundable.

All Special Event fees include a contribution that directly supports OLLI’s mission and program operations.

Participant Substitutions

While we cannot offer refunds, we understand that plans change. If you are unable to attend:

• Transfer your spot: You may send someone in your place.
• Action required: Please contact the OLLI office at (949) 451-1403 to provide the name, phone number, and email address of the individual taking your spot so we can update our roster. This needs to be done at least.

OLLI Cancellations

OLLI reserves the right to cancel an event or trip at its discretion. In the event of a cancellation by OLLI, all enrolled participants will receive a full refund.

Non-members are welcome to register for special events. Please call Student Services to register at (949) 824-1010, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

You will be notified by either email or phone call if space becomes available.
