Tuition-free OLLI   

Tuition-free OLLIOLLI at Sierra College has two types of courses: Club OLLI and Tuition-free OLLI. Each requires a different registration process. The OLLI Tuition-free courses are part of the Sierra College curriculum, but are still noncredit with no test or grades. You must be a Sierra College student to take these classes hence this separate registration process. Below is the information on how to register for these courses. It’s a bit more cumbersome but they are free!

  • If you are a new student or did not take a tuition-free course in Fall 2024, you will need to complete an application along with your course registration form. Complete the application/registration form

  • If you did take a tuition-free course in the Fall 2024 semester, you are a current student and only need to complete the course registration form.
