There are two types of for-credit certificates:

Category 1: is a post-baccalaureate, stand-alone certificate that normally requires completion of an undergraduate degree, or equivalent, for admission:

• Successful completion of the certificate is recorded on the academic transcript;
• Students are registered as undergraduate students and receive a parchment at Convocation.

Category 2: is a certificate that is offered in conjunction with an undergraduate degree program or programs:

• Successful completion of the certificate is recorded on the academic transcript as a component of the undergraduate degree;
• Students do not receive a separate parchment at Convocation.
