Courses are a core feature of OLLI’s programming.

OLLI offers fall and spring semesters of 4- week or 8-week courses taught by distinguished faculty (both current and emeritus) from the University of Illinois and other colleges and universities in the region, and community members from a wide variety of areas. 

An annual or semester-based OLLI membership is required to register for the applicable semester's courses.

Each 8-week course costs $40, and 4-week courses are $20 each. Course costs are a la carte – members pay for all of the courses for which they register.

Most courses meet once per week for 90 minutes. We do not take attendance or assign grades, and there are no required assignments (although some courses may offer optional outside reading suggestions).
