Welcome to the Osher Lifelong Learning Instituteat Sierra College Fall 2024 Registration is Now Open! Fall 2024 Term Dates: (M) August 26 (F) December 6 > OLLI Extras > Tuition-free OLLI

Tuition-free OLLI

OLLI 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 Spring 2024 or Summer 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 Spring 2024 or Summer 2024 semesters, you are a current student and only need to complete the course registration form.

Please return your form(s)in one of the following ways listed below. Once we receive the forms, we will process your registration and send you an email confirmation separate from your Club OLLI confirmation.
