If you're a newcomer to the Athens area, joining OLLI@UGA is a great way to meet people like yourself. If you're a native, it's a fun way to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones with similar interests. As an OLLI@UGA member, you'll have access to a variety of educational, cultural, social and physical programs. And it's all just for the fun of it, no exams or grades!

Membership is open to anyone over the age of 50. We have no restrictions based on educational background, and our classroom facilities are handicap-accessible.

Costs?

Our membership year runs from July 1st through June 30th and costs $40. Members can register for any or all of the courses and activities we offer. There are a few exceptions, but most courses and activities cost just $5 per session, plus parking. For example, if a course has three sessions of two hours each, your cost is just $15 plus parking fees, if necessary. Parking passes for our River's Crossing classroom building are $2 and are good for a full day. Our "Lunch and Learn" sessions provide a lecture on a specific topic followed by lunch. They cost $15 each.
