Before beginning any coursework, applicants are recommended to consult with their faculty advisor (or, where appropriate, graduate program coordinator). Note: While the application for declaring your certificate should be completed prior to enrolling in courses for the certificate, it must be completed prior to graduation. Your application automatically serves as a declaration of your intent to pursue the certificate. This declaration becomes part of your academic record.
