A grade-point average of 2.5 is the minimum required for completion of a certificate program, and each course in any certificate program must be completed with a grade of C or better. Higher grade requirements are noted in some individual program descriptions. Each program has its own rules regarding the waiver or substitution of courses. Please contact the department directly for guidelines. In some cases, there is a fee to waive or substitute courses.
Some certificate programs provide the option of taking courses by independent study.
