For all start sessions, certificate applications are considered on a rolling admission basis. Applications are reviewed in the order in which they are completed, provided that sufficient time remains for processing and enrollment.

Candidates for certificate admission must meet the following criteria:

  • High school diploma
  • Good academic and social standing at the last institution enrolled.

4.4.6.3 Application Requirements

A completed application for certificate admission includes the following:

  • Payment of the application fee.
  • Official transcript from the last institution attended (high school or college).
