The Certification Process for Students Completing the Requirements

Certification of completion of the requirements is done by the program’s faculty committee chair (or designee). An application for the certification of completion is initiated by the student and submitted to the chair of the faculty oversight committee at the time they complete their undergraduate degree or the certificate program, whichever comes later. Transcript recognition is awarded at that time.

Application for certification must be made directly to the certificate program and is not a substitute for the application for graduation required by a student’s degree-granting school or college. After approval of the student’s application, the Registrar’s Office will be notified so that the certificate can be shown on the official transcript.

For Extended Campus students, an application for the certificate of completion is initiated by the student and submitted to the appropriate extension unit at the time they complete the certificate program. After approval of the student’s application by the extension unit and the program’s faculty committee chair (or designee), the Registrar’s Office will be notified so that the certificate can be shown on the official transcript.
