Membership Terms and Conditions

  1. The U3APP financial year starts on 1 November of each year. All memberships except life memberships are declared unfinancial on 31 October regardless of when the member paid their Membership Fee during the year.  Members who were financial prior to 31 October remain enrolled in their existing courses for the remainder of the current calendar year and can enrol in term 4 courses.
  2. Membership Fees for the following year can be paid from 1 November onward. Once paid, you become a financial member.  Only financial members can enrol in a course or book a one-off event (except those events open to the general public, such as our Saturday Seminars).
  3. Membership in U3APP does not guarantee enrolment in any specific course.
  4. We do not reduce the Membership Fee if paid part way through the year.
  5. Our policy states that we do not provide refunds of Membership Fees once paid.
  6. We do not offer a reduced fee if the person also belongs to another U3A.
  7. All members must stay home if feeling ill in accordance with our strict Conditions of Entry.
  8. Your contact details may be used by our Office or by tutors to provide information about courses you enrol in, e.g. class changes or cancellations.

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.

  • Login to the U3APP.org.au website.
  • 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”.
    • You will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.
  • OR is the course shown as FULL?
    • Click on WAITLIST.

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.

Via the Office: after bookings have opened

  • Contact the office in person, or by email or phone.
