Membership at LINEC

For over 30 years, LINEC has brought together people who love to learn. Our community thrives on curiosity, creativity, and connection.

As of 2025, LINEC has moved from a traditional membership model to a pay-per-course structure. This change makes joining LINEC easier and more flexible—you simply sign up and pay for the courses you’d like to take.

Course Fees

  • 5–6 week course: $35
  • 3–4 week course: $25
  • 1-2 week course: $15
What You Still Enjoy with LINEC
  • Even without a membership fee, you’ll continue to enjoy many of the same benefits that have always defined LINEC:
  • The pleasure of learning with peers, from peers
  • Reasonably priced classes in a wide variety of subjects
  • Opportunities to volunteer and help shape LINEC’s future
  • Access to course catalogs and newsletters
  • Invitations to LINEC’s Annual Meeting and other community events
  • Continued partnership with New England College, including special events and selected library resources
Looking Ahead

While some of the past membership benefits tied to NEC (such as auditing courses) are being reviewed, LINEC remains committed to offering valuable learning opportunities and building connections with NEC and the wider community.

We invite you to explore our current courses and discover what makes LINEC such a welcoming and engaging community.
