Stanford Advanced Project Management Program Application and Registration Instructions

Please read these instructions in their entirety before proceeding.

If you have previously created an account, or have attended other Stanford Center for Professional Development courses online, on-site or at Stanford, you are "existing," not "new" even if you are new to the website. Please follow the instructions below starting at Step One, using your known mystanfordconnection username and password when prompted. If you need your account ID and password, please send an email request to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Do not set-up a new account as this will result in duplicate student records in your name.

Start Here: http://apm.stanford.edu

1. Click on the red "enroll now" button on the top left hand side of the screen. From the drop down menu, select either “new” or “existing” based on the criteria above. This will route you to the appropriate landing page embedded within: scpd.stanford.edu - http://scpd.stanford.edu/.
2. If you are a new student, please skip to step 6. If you are an existing student enrolling in your next course, please proceed with step 3.
3. You have arrived at the home page of the Stanford Advanced Project Management program. From here you can view the entire curriculum. You may click on course titles for descriptions, and a list of the available sections.
