ELIGIBILITY: Nonprofit University welcomes nonprofit staff, board members, donors, volunteers, and others who are interested in helping nonprofits to further their missions. All of our courses operate on an open enrollment basis. For courses offered both individually and within a Certificate series, priority is given to those students enrolled in the Certificate Program. Certain programs, such as our Executive Programs, require the submission of a formal application. Requirements for admission accompany the program descriptions.
NONDISCRIMINATION: Nonprofit University is an equal opportunity educational institution. It is committed to a policy of equal opportunity in the provision of our educational classes, programs, and activities. Nonprofit University does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or any other basis as specified by federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and does not tolerate such discrimination by its students, staff, or faculty.
Fees, Registration & Payment
We accept registration and payment by phone, fax, or via our online payment system. We do, however, recommend that you register in advance for classes to ensure that you have a place, and so that we know whether or not to cancel a class. If you do not pre-register and show for a class that is either full or has been cancelled, we cannot assist you.

Subscriptions include anyone from your organization including board members and volunteers. Learn more about SUBSCRIPTIONS.
