Procedures for Awarding Certificates

Certificates are awarded upon your successful completion of the required coursework. Notify your advisor early in the term of your intention to complete your certificate. An academic advisor will review your coursework prior to approving your completion of the certificate program.

As you work toward your certificate, keep in mind:

• You must submit an online application through MyUMUC along with the $50 nonrefundable fee at the beginning of the term that you plan to finish your certificate.
  
  
• A review of the coursework will be initiated after the certificate application and fee have been received.
  
  
• If you are working toward a degree at the same time, you must apply for the certificate before graduating.
