In order for a course to meet a requirement it must meet for a minimum of 25 hours for the semester. Short courses and seminars are not acknowledged as requirements or electives in the program unless otherwise noted. You may find that Certificate requirements have changed since your last registration. In this case, you may choose to follow either the previously published requirements or to meet the new requirements. If a program is discontinued, you may continue to take classes toward completion of your Certificate, while making the necessary substitutions with the approval of the Continuing Education Department.
Some certificates have intensive basic core studio options available for beginning students.
These Basic Core classes generally count for the first three courses listed in a sequence. Not all certificate programs have a Basic Core. Not all courses are available each semester. If a student is unable to complete the requirements due to schedule conflicts they may consult the Continuing Education Office to make a reasonable adjustment to the guidelines in order to finish the program.
