Online Registration: Day of Registration / Registration Period

Search for courses you want to enroll in using one of the three search methods.
  1. ​Advanced Course Search.  The most direct way to find your course is to go to learnmore.duke.edu, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Advanced Course Search”. Enter the four digit course number, or a portion of the course name and click “Search”.  Click on the course name, then click on the course section you want to enroll in and click “Add to Cart”. Follow the directions to checkout. 
  2. By Day of the Week or by Category.  Go to learnmore.duke.edu, scroll down to “Courses”, then click the down-triangle labelled “show” beneath it. Click on the tab to “View by day” or “View by category.” Click on the course title to get to the course page, click on Add to Cart, and follow steps to checkout.
  3.  Search Box. You may also enter the course number or part of the title into the search box which appears on every page at the top right under the shopping cart symbol.  This will search the entire site and may also retrieve results from the .pdf version of the course catalog. Click on the appropriate link for the course, click on Add to Cart, and follow steps to checkout. Please note: since this is a Google search box refreshed by Google, it may not have the most up-to-date information.

Registration by phone

If you would like to register by phone, you may call the registration office (919-684-6259) any time after 9:00am on registration day.  Please do not ask to register for classes prior to then.

​Members will be registered in the order calls are received. If your call goes to voicemail because of heavy call volume, leave a message; a registration member will contact you as soon as possible in the order calls are received. Please do not leave multiple messages, since these only slow down the registration team.

Refund Policy

Requests for refunds for dropped courses must be received by the end of the first week of class. After that time, no refunds will be issued except in the event of an emergency, at the discretion of OLLI at Duke staff. There will be a $20 service charge per course dropped. If a course is cancelled by OLLI at Duke, no charge will be incurred by members. Please note: Membership dues are nonrefundable.

Financial Aid

We want our classes to be available to all who wish to participate in them. Please contact the OLLI Program Director at 919-684-2703 to discuss financial aid. All requests are confidential.
