How to Register For an OLLI Course

 

Registering for an OLLI course is simple.

Step 1: Choose your courses. You can read about OLLI courses in our catalog via the purple button or by viewing the courses section of our website, both found at learnmore.duke.edu/olli.

Step 2: Find your courses on our website.

There are two ways to find courses:

  • From learnmore.duke.edu, use the advanced search option. To find this, start on Learnmore's homepage and click on "Search Courses" which is located on the right in the black horizontal bar menu, below the large picture. In the search box, enter the name of the course or the course ID number, then click search. Click the course title to open the course description page.
  • From the OLLI homepage, scroll down and find the Courses tab. Browse by day of the week, by category, or by location. Click on the course title to get to the course description page.

Step 3: Add to Cart: Once you're on the course description page, click on "Add to Cart" on the right side of the page.

→ If the course is full, the button will say "Join Waitlist". You can join a waitlist for free. If a spot opens in the class, the first person on the waitlist will be invited to join. You'll receive an email with directions from learnmore@duke.edu. Invitees have 48 hours to accept the invite and pay for the course.

Step 4: Check out and pay for your courses. Once you have added all the courses you want to your cart, click on the blue checkout button. Then follow the directions to pay for your course.

For first time users or those with expired memberships, an automatic annual membership fee will be added at checkout.

Tip! Do not reload the page during the payment process. This will cause your payment to freeze.

Tips to prep for registration:

  1. Renew your membership ahead of time: You can log into your Student Portal to find out when your membership expires. Click My Profile on the left menu. Scroll down to find "Membership Information". You'll find which membership you last purchased and the expiration date in that section. If your membership has expired or will expire before registration, click on "Special Requests" to add the newest membership to your cart.
  2. Practice logging in before the first day of registration. This will ensure your user name and password are ready to go.
