One Fee, Unlimited Classes – MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM
NCCOA now offers two memberships for classes at the Janice Ancrum Senior Life Center:
– Individual membership for $125.00 per year
– Couples membership (two per household) for $195.00 per year (unlimited classes)
Membership fees include unlimited classes…so if you join as an individual or couple, you may attend as many classes as you’d like! Memberships are valid one year from the date enrolled. Register online and payment can be made with our receptionist at 1901 Island Walk Way or via check.
The nonmember rate is $5.00 per class or activity, payable at the time of registration. Supply fees (art classes, etc.) may be added for both members and nonmembers.

– No-shows will be charged if you do not cancel at least one day in advance of the class.
– Please make every effort to arrive on time for your classes.
– If you are waitlisted or have not registered for a class, you are not guaranteed a spot — even if you are waiting at the Life Center.
