Degrees will begin to be awarded once all final grades have been posted to student records, which typically occurs about one week after the semester ends. Diplomas are then mailed approximately six to eight weeks after the end of the semester.
To get started, you'll need to submit a new application. Select the Non-Degree application type, then choose the certificate or licensure program you're interested in
There are many factors that determine when a decision will be made. Those could include when admission committees meet, when we receive a decision from your program of interest, etc. Please continue to check your application status page for updates.
