About Membership

You can join Adelaide U3A through our member­ship admin­is­tra­tion system (UMAS for Members). It is used for all member­ship require­ments, such as joining or renewing member­ships, updating personal details, enrolling in courses and viewing and down­loading enrolment details and invoices. It works on smart­phones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs.


You don’t have to join U3A to see what Courses we offer, but you must be a financial member to enrol in courses, which you can do throughout the year.

We have a User Guide to our member­ship admin­is­tra­tion system which will help with the following.

  • How to log in – as an existing/renewing member OR join as a new member
  • How to enrol in a course/s

If you cannot join online, please contact or visit the U3A Adelaide Office.
When you have paid your member­ship fees your member­ship is active and you can attend as many classes as you wish during the year, subject to avail­ab­ility. Additional charges for excur­sions and some materials may apply.

Membership Fees

When you join Adelaide U3A you are auto­mat­ic­ally given the status of Full Member. If you want to change to another member­ship type you will need to contact the office or sysadmin@adelaideu3a.org.au. For example, if you are a member at another U3A you can have your status changed to that of Associate Member.
