To obtain a Certificate or Diploma, you must successfully complete all of the required courses in a program. Check the Programs section for program requirements by clicking on the Programs button in the navigation bar. Through distance learning, registration is done by each individual course, not by program. Once all of the required courses have been successfully completed, you can request the Certificate or Diploma by filling out an application form available from the Registrar's Office. Be advised that there is an administration fee.Back to Top
