Make your THIRD AGE your BEST Age. |
New On-line membership system.
We hope to be able to switch over to the new membership system (called UMAS) early in Term 2. Members with internet access will be able to select courses, change courses, re-enrol and pay membership fees online. Members without internet will still be able to fill out enrolment forms and have everything processed by our membership volunteers.The trial system is ready for curious members to try.
There is a link below to the View Courses section of the new system - you can safely have a look around and click on the course names or codes to see more information. You can't break anything so feel free to click away!
If you are adventurous you can try enrolling in the new system - but keep in mind that this is a test system and does not affect your current membership or course enrolments in any way.
You can see the test system here:
Instructions on how to enrol are here:

You might also want to check with the U3A Box Hill office to make sure courses are still open - not full or restricted for other reasons - ring 9898 3336.
Many classes fill up early in the term, and some tutors hold waiting lists in case some earlier enrolees drop out. Other classes may require experience or competency levels before admitting new enrolees. Again you are advised to check with the office before sending in an enrolment form. Some classes have a charge for books or materials.
When you have determined which classes you will enrol for, you can then go to the Membership section to download the membership application/class enrolment form.
CLASS WAITING LISTS
These lists will start afresh each year. The first people put on these lists will be those who missed out on classes selected on their membership form which was delivered to Box Hill U3A before the closing time on Enrolment Day (usually in December each year).
After this date all requests to be included on a waiting list must be on the Waiting List form (Click here) which is forwarded to the secretary.
If a class has been marked as FULL, names will only be added to the waiting list if the relevant form is completed.

COURSE ETIQUETTE REMINDERS
- All course enrolments must be done through the office. Don't attend a class and ask the tutor to enrol you.
- When you enrol in a course, put the start date in your diary or calendar so you don't forget.
- If you are on a waiting list, wait for the office to call you regarding a vacancy.
- If you change your mind about a course, or no longer wish to attend, let the office know so that someone on the waiting list can take your place.
- Notify the office by phone if you can't attend a class. (When phoning the office with an apology, please say your name twice slowly and spell it if it is unusual - also say a phone number twice.)
You will lose your place in a course if you miss three consecutive classes without apology. Our email: [email protected]
- Turn off your mobile phone at the start of a class or make it silent. Do not take calls in class unless in an emergency.
- Ask the tutor about materials and copying costs at the first session and be prepared to pay your share without having to be asked.
- Always wear your U3A Box Hill identification when attending classes.
- Respect other users of the rooms - don't push in early, or linger if new occupants are waiting.
