Membership Levels

You can become an Osher member for as little as $50 per year. You may also review Membership Benefits. Your membership is valid for one year from the date you join.

Gold: $400/year (rolling 12-month)

Our Gold membership is perfect for individuals who want to take advantage of the entire Osher Lifelong Learning Institute experience. This individual membership includes a University of Richmond One Card and e-mail address, parking pass, six complimentary tickets to the Modlin Center (two additional free tickets for UR alumni), full use of the library including access to online databases, and membership in Friends of Boatwright Memorial Library. In addition, Gold members have unlimited access to all Osher courses included in this Schedule of Classes free of charge.

Gold Plus One: $600/year (rolling 12-month)

Gold Plus One is the perfect membership for two people joining Osher together. When you join with another person as a Gold Plus One member, each person saves $100. This level includes the same benefits as our Gold membership but covers two people joining together.

Silver: $50/year (rolling 12-month)

Our Silver membership is the perfect “get acquainted” level for individuals who are interested in seeing what Osher has to offer. For a small annual fee, an individual receives a University of Richmond One Card and e-mail address, parking pass, full student-status use of the library including access to online databases, and access to register for Osher courses. However, Silver members pay for each course in which they enroll, $100 to audit available semester-long credit courses and mini course fees as listed in this Schedule of Classes.

Upgrading Your Membership

Are you a Silver member who is wondering if an all-inclusive Gold or Gold Plus One membership (allowing you to register for as many classes as you’d like for no additional fees) is right for you? Silver members may upgrade to Gold or Gold Plus One at any time during the first six months of their membership year. Upgrades will not change the membership term dates. When upgrading, the $50 Silver membership fee will be applied to the upgrade.

University of Richmond Employees and Retirees

University employees and retirees may become Osher members for $25. For additional details, review the special University of Richmond employee and retiree membership application form and contact the Osher Institute office.
