OLLI at UCLA Membership

Join our community of lifelong learners.

Membership in OLLI at UCLA begins the quarter you join and lasts for one full year. Membership is required to take OLLI courses, with the exception of Taste of Osher. There are two tiers of membership:

Basic Membership – $50/year. Basic members enroll at regular course fees – $80 to $165 per course.

Plus Membership – $295/year. Plus members receive up to 70% off course fees – paying no more than $40 per course (some exceptions apply). Plus members are also exempt from administrative refund fees.

If you are a new member, or your membership has expired, you will automatically be prompted to purchase a new membership when you pay for your courses.

Refund Requests

Refund requests will be accepted through the close of business on the final refund date, which is printed on your enrollment receipt (typically this is 2 weeks after course start date). For every refund request totaling $30 or more, a $30 administrative fee is assessed (this fee is waived for Plus members). OLLI membership dues are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
