OLLI Membership

An active OLLI membership is required to register for courses, field trips, socials and travel.

OLLI at UA annual memberships run from August 1 to July 31, following the UA academic calendar. You can join at any time during the year and still enjoy all membership benefits until the end of the current membership year.

OLLI 2024-2025 Membership Fee: $65
Fall Course Package:$60
Spring Course Package:$60
Summer Course Package:$55

Thanks to the financial support from the Bernard Osher Foundation, The University of Alabama’s Office of Teaching Innovation and Digital Education (OTIDE), partners, and contributors, the OLLI membership fees remain very low.

exclamationRenewals

Course Fees must be renewed each semester. Memberships must be renewed every August 1.
