2. How do I register for courses after I enroll?

To register for the courses needed to complete the program, click on one of the courses listed under the certificate program. The course description, prerequisites, locations, and scheduled dates will appear, as well as the tuition and number of credits.

We recommend that you complete required and core courses first before the elective courses, but we do not require that you take the courses in any order. Please keep in mind that a course recommended as a prerequisite provides the foundation for its follow up course. The recommended prerequisite course should be taken before the follow up course.

3. How do I track my progress in a certificate program?

You can track your progress in a certificate program through your member account. Among other things, your member account will display the certificate program's required completion date, the number of courses needed to complete the program, and courses you have completed in the program.

4. How much time do I have to complete a certificate program?

Our "Certificate Programs" webpage indicates how many years you have to complete each certificate program (the time to complete begins when you enroll in the certificate program). Your required completion date will be displayed in your member account.
