Registration Procedures:

Here is how you can register for these classes, if you are not currently enrolled or completing a Master's Degree at Arizona State University.

  1. Apply for admission to the Graduate College as a CERTIFICATE student. You can apply online (click here to go to online application). Under admissions on Degree/Certificate Section Search: Category – ALL; Campus – DOWNTOWN; Keyword – (Leave Blank). Choose Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management. You will be required to pay a $65 nonrefundable application fee, as of July 1, 2007. You must provide proof of Measles Immunization. No transcripts or GRE tests are required.
  2. You will receive an admission packet from the Graduate College that will include an ID number, which is used to register for classes.
  3. Register and pay for your classes. This can be done over the phone and your admission packet will have all the information you need or visit the Registrar’s website for instructions.

Please note deadlines and notification for admission.

Applications can be submitted any time prior to the first day of classes but be aware that you can't register for classes until your application is processed. Allow enough processing time, generally one business day for web applications and two business days for paper applications, to avoid the late registration fee. You will receive notification that you have been admitted.
