    The Faculty of Arts offers a number of certificates to graduating students which acknowledge formally that students have studied particular themes, within one discipline, or across disciplines. Normally the requirements for the certificates can be completed as part of the requirements for the degree; however, in some cases, a student may need to take more than the minimum required for his or her degree program in order to qualify for both the degree and the certificate. The following certificates are available:

    Certificate in Community Engagement and Service-Learning: available to students across the University, regardless of Faculty or program (see §45.1).

    Certificate in Computer Game Development: available to undergraduate students across the University, regardless of Faculty or program.

In all cases, the certificate is granted by the Faculty of Arts at the time a student graduates from his or her degree program (see §44.9.4 or §44.20.5).

    Please note that students who lack an appropriate major or minor, or who are enrolled in a Faculty other than Arts or Science, are NOT eligible for the Certificate in Translation Studies.
