To register for any CTE class
- You first need to be admitted as a student to Northern Arizona University. There are two types of admission: degree-seeking and non-degree-seeking.
Degree-seeking students Accordion Closed
If you are planning on taking classes from NAU towards a degree in CTE, you can apply online and be admitted as a “degree-seeking student.” Degree-seeking students may be eligible for financial aid, can take a full class load, and are eligible to enroll early based on their enrollment appointment for upcoming terms. Degree-seeking graduate admission is $65. Degree-seeking undergraduate admission is $25 for Arizona residents and non-residents. Transcripts are required to be admitted with a degree-seeking status. It takes 24-48 hours for your graduate application to be processed. Undergraduate applications take 2-4 weeks. Make sure you pay the fee online, through wire transfer (call 928-523-3122 for instructions), by mail with a check, in-person at Student and Departmental Account Services, or through third-party billing. For more information, visit the website for Student and Departmental Account Services. You can call 888-628-2968 to inquire about the status of your undergraduate admission; call the same number and ask for Graduate Admissions to inquire about the status of graduate admission (or dial the Graduate College directly at 928-523-4348).
Make sure you select “online” as your “campus” when getting admitted to NAU for taking our online classes. If you do not select online, you will be required to provide proof of measles immunization to NAU prior to being able to register for classes.

If you are only planning on taking only one or two classes from NAU, you can apply and be admitted as a “non-degree-seeking student.” Non-degree-seeking graduate admission is $35. Non-degree-seeking undergraduate admission is $35 for Arizona residents and non-residents. You can apply and pay online. Transcripts are not needed to be admitted with a non-degree-seeking status.

Important information for out-of-state students
Summer and winter session tuition and fees are the same for all students. There is not a higher fee for out-of-state students for these sessions. For fall and spring sessions, all CTE students are eligible for the discounted World Wide University (WWU) program tuition rate and many graduate students are eligible for in-state tuition rates through the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP). You may be eligible for other reduced tuition plans if you are in the military/veteran or in a neighboring state to Arizona.

Through the WRGP, funding is available for certain out-of-state students to earn their degree at the cost of in-state tuition. If you are a resident of Alaska, California, Colorado, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming, as an incoming applicant in the CTE program you can apply for WRGP status and pay only in-state tuition. Students need not meet financial aid criteria. Part-time students (matriculated) are eligible to participate if they have been admitted to the program.
