Note:

  • You will need your approval submitted at least seven business days before your class start date to ensure your class is not dropped for non-payment.
  • When applying, be sure to select one of the following programs: 
    • Amazon Foundations: For non-credit English as a Second Language (ESL) classes through Glendale Community College
    • Amazon Pathways: For credit-bearing certificate programs, which are on the approved list (Note: Clock programs are not approved by Amazon)
    • Amazon College: For students seeking an Associate's or Bachelor's degree with Maricopa Community Colleges.
    • (Note: Amazon approval can be processed only at one college at this time.)

Example: If you are registered for a class at both Phoenix College and Glendale Community College with a start date in January 2025, your approval can be used only at one of those colleges.
