Civic Education
Online Enrollment
Once classes are scheduled, residents can register for Glendale University (GU) and the Homeowners Association (HOA) classes from the comfort of their own homes by using the city’s new Community Education Internet Application System. Users will be able to create their own online profiles and select the classes they are interested in attending from the buttons at the bottom of the page. The new system will also keep track of all the classes you have attended via a password you create. Once you have selected your classes, a report is sent to the Neighborhood Services Coordinator registering you for the class! (Mailed in and faxed applications will still be accepted.)

Glendale University Alumni Graduate Diploma
Many of our GU Alumni have continued learning about the City of Glendale by taking additional classes through our GU Graduate program. The City of Glendale would like to recognize the continued learning accomplishments of our alumni and are now also offering a graduate diploma.
To qualify for a graduate diploma, you must have completed GU 101. In addition, you must also have completed five (5) Graduate program classes over the last five (5) calendar years.
To receive your diploma, please complete the following application form and return it to the Neighborhood Partnership Office. Staff will review your application and verify your eligibility. A graduate diploma will then be sent you recognizing your further learning accomplishments with the City of Glendale. Graduate diploma recipients may also be recognized at other city functions or events.
HOA Training
Serving on a homeowners’ association board can be intimidating, yet to function well, boards need to have residents who are knowledgeable and willing to serve. Helping build that knowledge base and the pool of willing residents is the motivation behind the free HOA training series offered by the city of Glendale. The training is taught by HOA attorneys, property management professionals, city staff and other industry professionals. The series of eight classes are free to Glendale residents; when space allows, non-residents may attend, paying a $20 fee the evening of the first class.
Each of the classes in the series focuses on a different topic. The series includes four evening classes and four Saturday morning classes, all held at the Glendale Adult Center, 5970 W. Brown Street.
The Winter 2012 HOA Training Academy classes are now scheduled for Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on January 24, and 31; February 7, and Wednesday, February 15. Saturday morning classes are from 9 to 11:30 a.m. January 28, February 4, 11, and 18.
HOA Stand-Alone Classes (a’la carte classes)
Special HOA “a’la carte” classes are offered throughout the year, and are posted as they are scheduled.
