You must first enroll in an OLLI Membership before you can register for courses.
If you have not yet enrolled in an OLLI membership, please click here to go to the Become an OLLI Member page.
Registration for courses will be become available 4 or 5 weeks prior to the start of the semester (we will announce the exact registration dates on our homepage and send an email announcement to all OLLI members) and will remain open during the entire three-week registration period.
In order to accommodate our members who are not tech savvy, we created a registration system we call The Lottery in which there is no advantage to registering early and no disadvantage to registering later.
During this period, when you register, you will join the wait list for the course. Don't be alarmed. After the three-week registration period is over, we take down all courses, to process registrations.
If a course is undersubscribed, everyone who is on the wait list will be registered. If a course is oversubscribed, we run the lottery which randomly determines who will be registered. You can be fairly certain that you will be admitted to most courses that accept 200 or more students. See the course description to view the Maximum Class Size.
At the end of the week, emails will be sent to all OLLI members announcing the courses they are now registered in. You can also log in to your Lifelong Learning Extended Education (LLEE) (formerly Destiny One) account to view this information. Please look in the section above to find instructions on How To Look Up What OLLI Courses You Are Registered In.
If there are courses that still have space remaining, they will be made available for registration on our course registration page, on a first-come, first-served basis. At this point, if you are interested in a course that does not appear there, you may email olli@temple.edu on the off-chance that a member has recently dropped the course and one space has become available. Please look in the section above to find instructions on How To Register for Courses.
If you have any questions or would like our assistance, please email olli@temple.edu and we would be happy to help.
