Policies & Procedures

Certificate Programs are open to anyone interested in pursuing a certificate for professional and personal growth. The only prerequisite is a high school diploma or its equivalent. A majority of our students have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree in an area entirely different from the Certificate Program in which they are enrolled. To become a Certificate candidate, download the Certificate Declaration Form and submit it to the Office of Continuing Education with a $25 nonrefundable application fee. Certificate Declarations are accepted throughout the year and you may begin a program in any quarter.
Students in credit courses earn undergraduate-level credit and must adhere to academic regulations concerning class attendance and completion of in-class and assigned work. Grades are mailed 4 weeks after the course ends.
All courses may be taken on a noncredit basis. Students who audit are expected to adhere to all academic regulations concerning class attendance and completion of in-class and assigned homework, but do not receive a grade or credit for the course.
