ENROLLMENT GUIDELINES

SELECT courses can be taken in two ways: 1) for Professional Growth or 2) for NAU Credit.

The way you take a SELECT course depends upon whether you need a record of contact hours only or an official university transcript. Those working toward teacher certification will need university credit. Teachers working toward re-certification can take any course for Professional Growth contact hours.
If you are trying to decide if a SELECT class will meet your needs for Special Education certification or re-certification, please contact the Arizona Department of Education Certification Office in Phoenix at (602) 542-4367 or in Tucson at (520) 628-6326. Website: http://www.ade.state.az.us/certification/ Email: certification@ade.az.gov.
SELECT courses may not apply to a degree program without prior written approval from your academic advisor. In general, only one or two SELECT classes can be used as elective requirements for a degree program.

Professional growth (certificate of contact hours)

Enrollment: If you wish to enroll for professional growth, complete only the “Professional Growth Enrollment” form. You may also enroll over the telephone by calling 928-523-1809, 520-879-7924 or on-line here.
Tuition: The course is free to public and charter school employees.
Materials: Please keep in mind that you may be expected to purchase a textbook for a SELECT class. Your course syllabus (which you should receive prior to the first class session) will list information about the textbook and purchasing information. If you are registering late or have not received your course syllabus, please contact SELECT (select@nau.edu or 928-523-1809; 520-879-7924) to ask for a syllabus.
Deadline: Enrollment materials for professional growth must be received THREE WEEKS prior to the first day of class. If you wish to enroll later than this, please call before submitting your enrollment form.

NAU Credit (university transcript)

Application: If you have not been enrolled as an NAU graduate student within the last year you must submit the NAU “Application for Non-Degree Graduate Admission,” with your application fee of $25.00. You may pay for this fee using the worksheet on the application. You may also apply on-line or download the paper "Non-Degree" application form at http://home.nau.edu/gradcol/apply.asp. You must use the non-degree graduate application because SELECT classes are NOT part of a graduate degree program.
Enrollment: To enroll in a class, students must complete an “Enroll/Drop Request for Distance Learning Classes Only” form. This form must be completed with all pertinent class information and mailed, with your tuition payment, to: SELECT/NAU/IHD; Box 5630; Flagstaff, AZ 86011 or faxed to 928-523-9127. You may also find the registration form online at: http://www.distance.nau.edu/guide/student_forms.aspx. You may also enroll on-line at: http://www4.nau.edu/louie/.
Tuition: You may call the NAU Bursar’s Office Credit Card Payment line at 928-523-1122 or pay on-line after enrolling and note this on the payment worksheet. The cost for taking a course for NAU credit is:

Tuition: Summer 2008: $260.00 per credit hour (multiply by number of credit hours of class); Fall 2008: $278.00 per credit hour (multiply by number of credit hours of class)
Financial Aid Trust Fee: $12.00 (Fall 2008 $13.00)
