Students in an undergraduate program who have successfully completed at least 54 credits with an overall grade point average of 5.0, and who will also have successfully completed the requirements listed above by June 1, may apply to the Certificate in Non-profit Management by May 31 of the year these requirements will be completed.

The minimum acceptable overall grade point average for application and possible admission is 5.0. Since there are a limited number of spaces available, successful admission will be based primarily on the applicant's overall grade point average.

If admitted, students must successfully complete the following courses offered by the Schulich School of Business in the following sequence and over two academic sessions:

• SB/NPMG 3100 3.0;
• SB/NPMG 3200 3.0 (Note: Degree credit exclusions: SB/BFND 3200 3.0, AS/ECON 3580 3.0, AS/ECON 3590 3.0. Students who have successfully completed both AS/ECON 3580 3.0 and AS/ECON 3590 3.0 with a minimum grade of C+ in each may not enrol in SB/NPMG 3200 3.0, and are therefore exempt from this requirement.);
• SB/NPMG 4100 3.0 (Note: Degree credit exclusion: SB/BFND 4100 3.0.);
• and SB/NPMG 4200 3.0.

In order to graduate with the Certificate in Non-profit Management, students must maintain an overall grade point average of 5.0 in certificate courses.
