How OLLI-UA membership works

1. Review Class Offerings

The first step is to review our offerings and see what classes might interest you most and where they take place. 

An OLLI-UA membership unlocks unlimited access to classes.

An ALL-OLLI / Central Tucson Membership gives you access to all our offerings across OLLI both in-person and online. This is the only membership that gives access to the Central Tucson Campus.

Our Greater Tucson / Green Valley Membership gives access to all online classes plus classes that outer campus locations including: 

• Green Valley (Fall, Spring)
• Southeast Tucson - Returning Fall 2022
• Northwest Tucson - Operations Currently Suspended

Or view detailed membership options.

2. Choose a membership

Our fiscal year runs July to June each year. Our annual memberships offer the best value.

Seasonal Memberships are only available for our Greater / Tucson Green Valley Membership. Central Tucson only offers an annual membership. 

You will need to create an OLLI-UA account in order to purchase a membership.

3. Register for classes

After you purchase a membership, you're ready to request your classes.

Due to high demand, OLLI-UA uses a "Priority Registration Request" (PRR) system.

During the PRR period before each semester, you request the classes you want to attend, then prioritize them.

After the PRR period ends, the PRR system registers you for classes based on your priorities.

Log in to the OLLI-UA registration system and browse to find the classes you want to take.
