How OLLI-UA membership works

1. Choose your campus

The first step is choosing the campus that is most convenient for you.

A campus membership unlocks unlimited access to classes at that campus during your membership period.

We have four campuses serving Greater Tucson and Southern Arizona:

• Central Tucson (memberships are currently sold out)
• Green Valley
• Northwest Tucson
• Southeast Tucson

Or view information for all campuses.

2. Choose a membership

Each campus offers a variety of membership options to suit your schedule and budget.

Most campuses offer seasonal (fall, spring) and annual membership options.

Some campuses also offer summer and monsoon sessions, so you can experience the joy of learning all year round.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I take a class without purchasing a membership? OLLI-UA is a membership-based organization. A membership is required to take OLLI-UA classes.
• Are there other membership benefits? Yes! An OLLI-UA campus membership not only gives you access to classes at your "home" campus, it allows you to take one class per semester at another campus of your choice. Plus, you automatically get access to all OLLI After Hours classes. You will also join a welcoming community of lifelong learners that offers social and volunteer opportunities.
• What is your refund policy? View OLLI-UA's refund policy and other policies here.
• What if I can't afford a membership? We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to join OLLI-UA and share in the experience of lifelong learning. OLLI-UA has a limited number of Membership Fee Waiver opportunities for those who could not otherwise belong to OLLI-UA for financial reasons.
