Transferability
- If you have completed a course from a recognized post-secondary institution within the last five years that is applicable to the ALUP program, you may request an exemption up to a maximum of two courses.
Planning for Diverse Environments Series
This series is comprised of two online courses and two in-class/web-enhanced courses held in downtown Edmonton, each of them designed to stand alone in providing specific skills. Courses can also be taken together to provide you with a comprehensive skill set.
Once three of the courses have been successfully completed, you can request an official Planning for Diverse Environments series Notice of Completion.

Courses Offered
You can register for a course without enrolling in the program. If later you decide to apply for the full program, the course(s) you’ve taken will be applied toward your certificate. Alternatively, you may opt for auditing a course, in which case you will not be evaluated for any coursework — audited courses, however, cannot be applied toward the certificate at any time.
Our courses are offered in two formats: online and in-class web-enhanced instruction. Web-enhanced courses may have pre- or post-class assignments in addition to the scheduled face-to-face classroom work. Electronic course materials will be available in eClass.
Most classes are held at Enterprise Square, downtown Edmonton, Alberta.
Register online or by phone at 780-492-3116 (toll-free 1-800-808-4784). You may also register by mail, fax, or in person.
Course schedules are also available in printer-friendly PDF format.
