To apply for admission to undergraduate certificate programs, you must be a high school graduate or have completed a General Equivalency Diploma (GED). Admission to certificate programs is based on your previous college performance. Admission is generally approved if you have completed at least eight college-level semester credits with an overall GPA of 2.00. In addition, you must have satisfactorily completed at least two-thirds of all attempted credits. If you have completed more than 30 semester credits, only the most recent 30 credits are calculated.
