Students who complete a professional certification program and complete all the requirements for that program receive a Certificate of Completion from California State University San Marcos Extended Studies. Some provide a broad and comprehensive overview of a subject area, while others focus on a more limited but in-depth treatment of the topic. In most cases, receiving a passing grade on a series of evaluations constitutes mastery.
Attendance is required at all class meetings, allowing one excused absence.
When applicable, additional absences can be made up the following semester for a fee. This fee may be waived due to unusual circumstances. Certificates may be withheld for excessive absences. A certificate will be mailed to you in a timely manner after completion of the entire professional certificate program. CEUs are designed for use where employers, relicensure agencies and other authorities require a specific number of hours of study for career advancement purposes.
