The Curriculum Committee has been working hard to provide a varied range of classes for 2025, including some new and exciting courses.

Course brochures will be available at the Office from the end of October. Course details for 2025 will be available on the MyU3A website from 19 November.

The annual membership fee for 2025 is $70, the same as this year.

Due to the increasing number of members paying their annual membership fee by credit card, there will be no manual in-person prepay system at The Pines. Fees can be paid in advance, but only online using a credit card. U3A Manningham uses the Eway secure online payment platform to process credit card payments.

Room 1 will be available from 20 November for members who require assistance or who would prefer to pay and enrol using our helpful enrolment volunteers. Payment can be made using cash, cheque or credit card. Appointments are not necessary, but priority level dates for enrolment must be observed.

Important Dates

• Mon 21 October          Online fee prepayment system opens for members wishing to prepay using their credit card
• Priority levels will be posted on the noticeboard outside the Office in November, before the enrolment period begins.

Dates for enrolment according to priority level are:

• Wed 20 November      Level 1 members enrolment opens
• Fri 22 November          Level 2 members enrolment opens
• Mon 25 November      Level 3 members enrolment opens
• Wed 27 November      Level 4 members enrolment opens
• Thurs 28 November    General membership enrolment opens

Online enrolments open at 6:00 am. Room 1 will be open from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm for assisted payments and enrolments.

Enrolments online continue after this period, while payments and enrolments can be accepted at the Office after this period during office hours until the end of Term 4.

A maximum of three classes may be chosen during the initial enrolment period. This is to make classes available to as many members as possible. This restriction will be lifted on 14 January 2025 when members will be able to enrol or join the waitlist for additional classes.
