Program Completion
Certificate seeking students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 and receive grades of C- or better in all courses required for the certificate unless otherwise specified. At least 50% of courses must have been completed at CCSU. Certificates will be conferred at the 4 times during the academic year that degrees are conferred: May, August, December, and January.
As in the case of undergraduate degrees, the Office of the Registrar reviews a student’s graduation evaluation and notifies them of any remaining program requirements. After a student has completed all requirements the certificate will be conferred in the term associated with the completion of their last program requirement(s). The certificate will appear on the academic transcript.
Certificate requirements must be completed in full for a student to participate in commencement exercises. Students who complete a certificate but who have not obtained a degree are not eligible for graduation honors
