Other information

This course will consist of in-class exercises to get started on your memoir, and to continue with developing its themes and style.  Writing a life story is a journey toward self-knowledge.  The journey is a highly individual one and there are no set rules; it’s more like a traveller’s guide.  But having a guide can be useful, and so is having the company of other travellers

REQUIREMENTS: Pens and a loose-leaf notebook.

TUTOR: Nancy has published novels, poetry, nonfiction and a Memoir (Firsthand: More than Memoir, The People’s Library, 2019).  She is currently working on a second section of her own autobiography and is looking forward to sharing this experience with other interested people.

How to Enrol

On-line: after bookings have opened

On-line enrolments are preferred as this significantly reduces the amount of back-office work for our volunteers.

  • Go to the Courses & Enrolling page.
  • Scroll down to find the course that you are interested in.
  • Does the course have spaces available?
    • Click on the course name to go to the booking page.
    • Click on “Book for this course or event”.

Paper Enrolment Form: before bookings open for First Semester

  • Obtain a paper Enrolment Form either from the Office or by printing an online copy available here.
  • Complete the paper Enrolment Form and submit it to the Office.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.
