Welcome to Newcastle U3A
Learning opportunities for retirees
Are you retired or semi-retired? Let yourself grow through U3A
U3A is a self-help international organisation, where retired and semi-retired people provide courses for each other. At Newcastle U3A (NU3A) our courses range from academic, skill, physically active and special interest classes, to relaxed social get-togethers. Browse our Frequently Asked Questions or Newsletters , or view our 30th anniversary video ‘Older but Bolder’, for a sneak peak.
NEWSFLASH: our exciting Term 3 and 4 program V3.1 (dated 21 July) is now available. Enrolments have re-opened following the initial enrolment period. For courses which still contain vacancies, go to How to Enrol to apply online. If you are not yet a member for 2022, go to How to join and pay the midyear membership fee before enrolling. Term 3 started 25 July. If you are enrolled in a full year course, you do not need to re-enroll.
See the Calendar for details and how to book our social get-togethers, excursions and opportunities to connect with other members. See Venue Maps for directions to venues.
Given the recent COVID wave, we ask that you PLEASE WEAR A MASK TO INDOOR SESSIONS. Also, to attend face-to-face classes in 2022, we:
- comply with government COVID rules and give priority to the welfare of members
- expect participants to be fully vaccinated, unless medically exempt. Some tutors may require evidence. Unvaccinated members may choose from our zoom options.
- provide hand sanitiser and disinfectant wipes
- provide venue-specific detail in our COVID Safety Plan . nb. Members must assess their own circumstances to determine if face-to-face attendance is appropriate and do not attend if presenting covid-like symptoms.
The Membership fee for 2022 was $60 for the calendar year. Financial members can attend as many classes as you choose (subject to class limits). If joining for the first time in 2022, please pay the $45 midyear membership fee and apply to become a member before enrolling.
