Credit for Professional Certification

A maximum of 30 credits may be awarded in a Stevenson University undergraduate degree program for the completion of an approved certificate from a professional organization. Official documentation of successful completion of the certificate must be submitted and additional documentation including, but not limited to, a syllabus, curriculum or other documentation of the content of the certificate may be requested. Credit for a completed certificate is awarded at the discretion and with the approval of the appropriate academic program administrator and dean of the school in which the program resides. All approved certificates must be sufficiently equivalent to courses offered at Stevenson University. Credits awarded for an approved certificate are included in the maximum of 90 credits that can be applied to degree requirements from a combination of 2-year institutions, 4-year institutions, and non-direct classroom instruction.

Upon matriculation, students may not complete certificates elsewhere and transfer them into Stevenson University undergraduate programs.
