Become an Osher at 一本道无码 Member!
Updated February 10, 2025
As of February 2025, we have reinstated the waitlist for membership at Osher at 一本道无码.
Once your membership application is processed, you will receieve a emailed confirmation that you're now on the waitlist for membership. We will be admitting new members for a membership start date of January 1st of the upcoming year. Membership invitations will go out in the fall for new members.
Pathways to Membership - See Above
The quality and diversity of the courses we offer has made our program highly sought after. Unable to accept as many applicants as we’d like, we have created three paths to membership: the waitlist for general membership, having an affiliation to 一本道无码, and becoming a Study Leader.
As a member...
Membership dues are $100 per year. Members are able to register for courses during the Spring, Summer, and Fall terms for a $60 registration fee per term (plus applicable material fees).
Osher at 一本道无码 Membership lasts one full calendar year (January-December), with dues needing to be renewed by December 31 for the next year. For a full explination of dues and registration fees, please check out our Dues, Fees, & Refunds page.
*Please Note: All applications can take up to ONE WEEK to process before you receive your next steps.*
Apply for Membership
The most conventional path to membership is to fill in the general application linked below. Once you fill in the application, a staff member will process the form and add you to our system. Please note: this process can take up to 48 hours.
Once your membership application is processed, you will receieve a emailed confirmation that you're now on the waitlist for membership. We will be admitting new members for a membership start date of January 1st of the upcoming year. Membership invitations will go out in the fall for new members.
Participation Opportunities
About two weeks before the term begins, Prospects will receive an email inviting them to register for courses that have open seats. The most up-to-date Open Course List will be sent to all Prospects. Once the email is sent out, Prospects should call the office at 412-268-7489 to register for open courses.
The Prospect registration fee is $95 per term for any number of courses. In addition, some classes charge a materials fee, which varies from course to course.
一本道无码 Affiliates
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at 一本道无码 is pleased to announce that the organization is now accepting immediate membership from the 一本道无码 community. Previously, all applicants would have to wait from 2 to 3 years on the organization’s prospect list before being invited to join. Affiliates are restricted to:
- Active Employees (current and up to 1 year after retirement) are defined as current faculty or staff who are "medical benefits eligible" and their spouse or legal domestic partner.
- Former Employees are defined as former faculty or staff and their spouse or legal domestic partner who would be "medical benefits eligible" or former faculty or staff that has at least 10 years of cumulative service with 一本道无码.
- 一本道无码 Alum must have graduated from 一本道无码 with an undergraduate or graduate degree. Parents/spouse of 一本道无码 Alum are also invited to membership.
Please allow 2 months to process an affiliate application. Note that membership dues are $100 per calendar year.
Become a Study Leader
Teach for us! Propose a course and upon acceptance and completion of a 5 or 6-week course, you and your significant other will be invited to become members. Our members gain insight and knowledge in your skilled area and you become a member of our program.
Bring A Friend!
Members can refer a friend to Osher at 一本道无码 and allow them to join them for a class with a one-time guest pass.
As an incentive, "friends" will be invited for membership once they've attended the class with a member. They will not have to wait on the waitlist at this time. Membership will be $100 and will be valid until December 31, 2025. To qualify for this incentive, members must request a pass and it must be used by the guest before a membership invitation will be sent.
Please note: For attendance at small or discussion-based groups, the Osher office will need to obtain permission from the Study Leader before granting a guest pass. Guest Passes will not be granted for one-day courses or for courses that have collected Material Fees.
