Application & Registration
Anyone interested in taking classes at Dharmakirti College or eCollege may do so. There is no separate admission process. Fall courses normally begin in August in Tucson and September online. Spring courses begin in January. Summer courses begin in June.
To register for courses, simply go to our website at www.dharmakirt.org to sign up for available courses or you may register in person at the first class in Tucson. Be sure to check the prerequisite requirements. Although prerequisites are not vigorously enforced, following them ensures that students have sufficient background to understand the material and practices based on expectations regarding learning in previous classes. The curriculum is very linear in this regard and does not repeat a lot of material. Requests for prerequisite overrides should be made to admin@dharmakirti.org and are subject to instructor permission. Please explain the reason you are requesting the override.
Most books may be purchased at Snow Lion or Amazon.com. Some are available or may be ordered at local bookstores.
Payment for online classes is made by credit or debit card (we accept Visa or Master Card). The cost is currently $60 per course. Books are purchased by students separately either at local bookstores or online.
A limited number of scholarships are available. If approved, we normally award 50% of the tuition. To apply for a scholarship, please send an email describing you financial situation to admin@dharmakirti.org. Scholarships may be continued during your course of study as needed.
