• How to Enroll

  Complete the WGSS Certificate Application

  Visit our Application for Admission to the Graduate Certificate webpage and fill out the brief Google Form to indicate your interest. Follow instructions to complete the Permission to Enroll in a Secondary Certificate Program Form required by the Graduate School.

  Obtain Signatures

  Have your Graduate Program Director sign the form (and International Advisor if relevant).

  Submit the Form

  Email the signed form to the WGSS Graduate Program Coordinator, who will finalize the process.

• When to Enroll

  Enroll as early as possible.

  The Graduate School prohibits you from retroactively counting more than 6 credits (2 courses) for a certificate if taken before official acceptance. You must complete at least 3 courses (9 credits) after being formally admitted to the WGSS Certificate program.

  There is no additional cost to enroll, and no penalty if you decide not to finish later.

  Avoid complications by signing up sooner rather than later.
