Osher Online Spring 2026   

Osher Online is a national program that is offered to a select number of Osher Institutes and managed by the Osher National Resource Center (NRC) out of Northwestern University. These unique programs allow OLLI members from across the country to take courses together. These offerings are separate from the regular courses OLLI at UMass Boston sponsors and as such, are treated as special events that are open to all current OLLI members.

There is a $35 fee assessed for each course you register to help cover the cost of providing this program for our members. This $35 event fee is applicable to all OLLI membership levels. Payment will be due a week prior to the program starting. OLLI members must be current members at the time of registration as well as when the program starts.

Please read the following details carefully:

1. Registration will open at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, February 27 through OLLI's online registration system. Unlike our usual spring or fall courses, these programs will fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Please do not email or call in your request.
2. Your OLLI membership must be current so you can register for these programs. Please call (617.287.7312) to renew your membership.
3. Osher Online programs are open to any current OLLI member.
4. Cost: $35 per event. The program fee must be paid a week prior to it beginning.
5. OLLI members may only register for one Osher Online program. Only 13 seats are given to OLLI at UMass Boston for each program. To allow as many OLLI members as possible to enjoy these unique classes, please register for just one program. If space remains after March 16, members may then register for additional Osher Online programs. Remember there is a fee of $35 for each couse you take.
6. OLLI at UMass Boston will provide the class roster to the NRC. The NRC will then email the confirmation back to each student and provide a username and password so the student can access their course information, including handouts and communications with the study leaders, on the NRC’s online course portal.

Note: OLLI at UMass Boston will not have access to Zoom details for these programs. Access to program information, including Zoom links, are only accessible through the NRC online website/portal. The NRC will provide help and assistance if an OLLI member has trouble accessing this information.
