OLLI at NC State uses a registration system called REPORTER. When you register for OLLI programs, you will receive registration confirmation emails and important emails related to your courses from REPORTER. Add reporter_registration@ncsu.edu to your contacts list to ensure these emails don’t wind up in your Spam folder.

Getting Started — Online Registration

To register for OLLI courses you must have a Brickyard Account. This is an email account that has been registered in the REPORTER system. If you have registered with OLLI previously, you will have a Brickyard Account. If this is your first time registering for an OLLI course, you will need to create a new Brickyard Account.

Brickyard Account login link (click the gray Brickyard Login option)

  • From the REPORTER home page find the Login section.
  • In this section, select the option to Create New Account:
  • Provide the required information, including your name, email address, and phone number. Filling in this information now will help prevent any problems when you register for OLLI courses.
  • Then you will select Create Account which will bring you to a page confirming your account creation and linking you back to the login page.

You will use this email and password to log into your Brickyard account when registering for OLLI courses.

If you have already purchased your annual OLLI membership online or by phone, you do not need to add an OLLI membership to your order.

Once you have registered for an OLLI course, you will then receive three emails from REPORTER that are related to your registration: your registration confirmation, your order summary, and a receipt for your payment. Please keep these emails for your records. If you do not receive any of these emails, please check your spam folder.
