ASU Learning Offering Registration

As one of the university’s three enterprises, Learning Enterprise expands universal access to opportunity for learners – at every stage in life. ASU is reimagining the role of universities in society as catalysts of economic and social mobility, guided by the belief that all learners can harness education as an effective ladder to achieving their goals. In the same way the Academic Enterprise serves students through ASU’s degrees, the Learning Enterprise serves learners through thousands of different learning offerings.

These offerings - referred to as learning offerings - include any ASU non-Degree programs, activities or services that deliver a meaningful educational experience for learners (individuals not admitted to and enrolled in a degree program). It includes in-person, online and hybrid offerings regardless of length. Examples include executive and continuing professional education courses, custom workshops and training, learner curriculum and materials, and learning content.

Many learning offerings are provided at a cost to the learner or their sponsor such as an employer. ASU collects a fee of 10% of the revenue received for all ASU learning offerings enterprise-wide.  

In order to collect the 10% fee, all learner revenue must be tagged with the following revenue category:
