Step 1. Apply to CU Denver as a Continuing and Professional Education Student
- When available, start a new CU Denver application:
- You will be prompted to either sign in as a returning user with your existing CU Denver credentials
- OR create an account as a new user if this is your first time taking courses with CU Denver. Be sure to take note of this information as you will need it to log in the system going forward.
- When you start your application, select Continuing and Professional Education.
- When the application is open, make sure you select UCDCPR Facilitator Training Program for your program.
- You can start and pause the application process and submit it when complete.
If you have selected all of the correct options, there should not be any application fee.
You will receive a confirmation email after your application is received. Our application and review process is competitive. You will receive a reply with an admission decision or a request for more information by the posted deadlines.
Step 2. Once Admitted, Set Up Your CU Denver Account (New Students Only)
If you are a returning student you may skip this step as you already have a CU Denver Account.
- Find the email sent to you from CU Denver after starting your application titled Important Account Creation Information.
- Take note of the username in the email and the password you created when you started your online application. This is the login information for your account so you can register for the course.
Step 3. Enroll in your courses
Log into your CU Denver account using the button below.
You will search and register for the following two courses.
- NCPD 101—Natural Medicine Assisted Therapy I—Historical and Conceptual Frameworks
- NCPD 102—Natural Medicine Assisted Therapy II —Clinical Applications
Here are the detailed instructions for registering for courses. Special Note: When searching for NCPD courses, be sure to select Extended Studies as your campus (not Denver Campus)
Step 4. Pay Your Bill
- Bills are typically posted in the student portal at the beginning of the month, with payment deadlines set for the end of the month. Here is the calendar of specific billing deadlines
- A notification that your bill is ready to be paid will be sent to your CU Denver email address.
- To pay your bill, logon to your student portal, click Student Billing, and then Pay Your Bill
Step 5. Once you have completed your courses, order Your transcript
To ensure that you are ordering a transcript that contains the information you need, first check that your instructor has posted their grades for the non-credit CEU course that you have completed.
Visit the transcripts page below to order your CU Denver transcripts: When making your selections, be sure to choose Non-Credit as the transcript option. Official transcripts or “All CU History” transcripts will only show credit courses and will not notate non-credit CEUs.
