NEW MEMBERS’ WELCOME 2023

24 FEBRUARY 2023

Many of the new members who attended the Welcome function on Friday 24 February in the Mary Kehoe Centre really appreciated the opportunity to meet other ‘newbies’, plus a number of representatives from the Committee of Management, Member Liaison, Tutor Recruitment, Office Management and Office Volunteers.

The President, Sheila Quairney, briefly welcomed everyone, introduced the various volunteers and referenced how these people can assist them to settle into U3APP courses and navigate their way around the website, building, office and parking.

The vibe in the room was very positive, with several acknowledging how welcome they felt at U3A Port Phillip; how people had made the effort to engage with them and assist with queries, all of which gave them a feeling of inclusion and acceptance. Although the numbers were small it was a very intimate, successful event.

Thanks to all who assisted with the organisation of the event.

How to Enrol

On-line: after bookings have opened

On-line enrolments are preferred as this significantly reduces the amount of back-office work for our volunteers.

  • Login to the U3APP.org.au website.
  • Go to the Courses & Enrolling page.
  • Scroll down to find the course that you are interested in.
  • Does the course have spaces available?
    • Click on the course name to go to the booking page.
    • Click on “Book for this course or event”.
    • You will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.
  • OR is the course shown as FULL?
    • Click on WAITLIST.

Paper Enrolment Form: before bookings open for First Semester

  • Obtain a paper Enrolment Form either from the Office or by printing an online copy available here.
  • Complete the paper Enrolment Form and submit it to the Office.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.

Via the Office: after bookings have opened

  • Contact the office in person, or by email or phone.
