203.20 Diploma and Certificate Programs
It is the responsibility of the department to:
• | verify that all the requirements of the diploma or certificate have been successfully completed before recommending a student for graduation; and |
• | submit to the FGSR a Report of Completion of Postgraduate Diploma/Post-baccalaureate Certificate form. |
This information must be received and verified by the FGSR before the student's name is placed on the convocation list.
Failure to meet the deadlines in the Academic Schedule will result in a delay in awarding the diploma or certificate.
University of Alberta offers both Embedded and Freestanding Certificates. Graduate students cannot receive an embedded undergraduate certificate as part of their program of studies, with an undergraduate certificate being one that contains courses primarily at the 300- and 400-level.
Information regarding graduate diploma and certificate programs is provided under the appropriate departmental listing in §205 below.
