University Guidelines for Acceptance to Graduate Certificate Programs
Admission to Post-Baccalaureate
Status
• A student who is already enrolled in the university as a post-baccalaureate
student (i.e., pursuing a graduate degree, a credential program, or in unclassified
status) may apply to a certificate program.
• A student who is interested in pursuing a certificate program may
apply to the university as a post-baccalaureate classified student. Note:
It is recommended that the student seek admission, if appropriate, to a degree
program within the sponsoring department so that graduate units taken may
be considered, where permitted, for later application towards a degree. Not
more than twelve (12) units taken as an unclassified student may be applied
toward the requirements of a graduate degree.

Certificate Program
A student enrolled, or eligible to enroll, in the university as a post-baccalaureate

complete any prescribed requirements for acceptance to that program. Such
requirements and procedures may include a supplementary application, a defined
set of prerequisite courses, a designated GPA, written recommendations, etc.,
as may be appropriate for the program in question.
