REFER A FRIEND FOR SPRING 2024 HELP SPREAD THE GOOD WORD ABOUT OLLI! Current OLLI members who refer a friend for spring 2024 membership are eligible to receive a $15 membership discount for the fall 2024 semester. The new, referred OLLI participant must join and maintain membership for the duration of the spring 2024 semester and must not have been a prior member at UD OLLI. Only one refer-a-friend discount can be provided per referring member, regardless of the number of new members referred. The discount will be provided to the referring member in the form of a discount code at the end of the spring 2024 semester to use upon registration for the fall 2024 semester. For more information, please email olli-online@udel.edu.
REFUNDS
TRAVEL
Full refunds will be granted prior to the beginning of the semester for those who cannot attend. No membership fee will be refunded because a request to audit a UD course cannot be honored. Refund requests may be submitted after the start of classes for withdrawals caused by illness, pressing family situations or other circumstances beyond a member’s control.
Member trips and class trips are planned by Travel Committees in the Wilmington and Kent/Sussex programs. Trips offered to members by independent travel agencies are not sponsored by or affiliated with UD or the OLLI program. Members are eligible to register for local bus trips on a firstcome, first-served basis. Information on upcoming trips is available online.
Refund requests received after the start of the semester will be prorated based on the date that the written request is received in the office and are subject to administrative approval. No refunds will be processed after March 1, 2024. Contact OLLI Wilmington at LLL-Wilm@udel.edu or 302-573-4417, or OLLI Kent/Sussex at olli-kent-sussex@udel.edu or 302-645-4111.
