If you would like to become a member, download the membership form, telephone or call in to the office at Hughes for a membership form, brochure and prospectus. Single membership of U3A ACT costs $25 a year; while it costs $40 for two people at the same address. You may join at any time during a calendar year. If your membership begins from October onwards you will be eligible for the coming year plus the last two months of the year of joining. Such early enrolment gives you early access to the course prospectus when it is posted out in December.

How to enrol in a course
Once you are a member you can enrol in courses and/or take part in other activities. Enrolment processes vary across courses, as shown in the prospectus (a PDF file larger than 1 Mb). Most require potential participants to ring or email the course convener.
U3A owns no premises of its own and courses are located at various places across the city. The two venues most widely used are the Hughes Community Centre and University House at the Australian National University (ANU), but other classes are held in libraries, community centres and in some clubs and colleges. Some classes are also held in Queanbeyan and Yass. Class members are responsible for meeting the rent of these, usually $1-$2 a week for the duration of the class. Computer courses are slightly more expensive. Please read the prospectus for conditions.
Down the track .....
U3A always welcomes proposals for new courses from people who have interests or skills in particular fields and would like to share them with their peers. In fact, we depend on it! Please go to the Course Leaders page for more information including a course proposal form.
