Use this form to propose one or more courses. Note that all three OLLI terms will now be standardized at 10 weeks long to allow more time between terms.

The Spring 2026 Term is 10 weeks long, starting Monday, February 2 and ending Saturday April 18th. Due to holidays, there are 9 Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. There will also be no OLLI courses during the UH Spring Break the week of March 16-20.

You may propose classes to be taught on-line, in-person (at UH Manoa, Kapi‘olani, or Windward CC), as well as outdoors. You can submit the form out more than once if needed. Though the questionnaire refers to courses, feel free to use the form to propose Special Events you may be interested in presenting (e.g. one-time lectures) especially on topical or local issues
