In the area of study, please indicate the name of the certificate you are applying for. Then, you need to contact the graduate coordinator to schedule an admission meeting.
If you have been already admitted to the Master of Science in Technology degree program, you need to use “Change of Status” form to add the certificate program to your graduate studies. The form is available at the web site for the Graduate School, and should be forwarded to the Graduate School
.
On your last semester, you will follow the same graduation procedure as any graduate degree. In other words, you will need to apply for graduation at the beginning of each semester according to deadlines by the Graduate School.
