Why do courses/activities appear to be duplicated in the Course List?
For a limited set of Courses/Activities the 2025 Course List includes the Zoom or online activities as well as the face to face course equivalent where appropriate. By being enrolled, you will be contacted when the activity is confirmed. Give yourself best chance to join by enrolling as soon as you can
If a course has duplicated enrolment do I need to enrol in both?
If a course has a face to face and online enrolment, a member can enrol in both if they are able to attend either
How will we manage courses that are expected to be oversubscribed?
A number of courses will initially have all enrolling members Wait listed. These courses are those that are expected to be oversubscribed. Members will be advised if they are accepted into these courses
Will I be automatically enrolled in courses/activities?
Apart from those Wait Listed above, most members are expected to be accepted into courses at enrolment time
How will I be advised if I am accepted into a course in which I have been Wait Listed?
Around 20 January 2025, members will be advised on courses in which they have been accepted. This notification will be sent along with a Welcome Pack and Name badges

Can I confirm online / Zoom courses in which I am enrolled?
Yes, by logging into the membership system you can view the current course status. Note that course finalisation may not be complete till late January 2024
Why is the membership system planned to be off line for certain periods?
The Membership System will be off line to backup 2024 info and rollover to 2025 membership as well as a short period mid December for Course Coordinators to finalise allocation of members to classes
What is the Volunteer area information for?
As U3A is reliant on volunteers we request members to indicate areas where they may be able to help in areas such as Office Duties, General Duties, Activity/Course Leader, Photography/Video Recording, etc. Although this area is entirely optional we encourage members to offer their services
