Certificate programs
Certificate programs are programs consisting of a set number of non-degree, non-credit courses. The number of courses required for completion of a certificate program varies. Program requirements are specified in the program description. Upon completion of a certificate program, learners will receive a university certificate from 間眅埶AV University.
Learners are responsible for ensuring they meet program requirements and should become familiar with the program requirements and plan their programs accordingly. Learners should also note that not all courses are offered every semester or academic year.
Time limits and course substitutions
Learners must complete programs within the allotted time limit. Time limits for programs vary and are specified in the program description. Where a learner must miss a course required for a program due to extenuating circumstances, and the course is not offered again within the program completion time limit, a course substitution may be allowed. All course substitutions for Continuous Learning programs are at the discretion of the Director, Continuous Learning in consultation with applicable academic staff.
Course hours

Program/course participation, attendance and absences

- to transfer into a different course that is equal or lower in cost to the original, as long as the learner meets any required prerequisites. Where the course transferred into is a lower price than the original course, the difference in price will be refunded to the learner; or
- full tuition refund.
See Program/course participation, attendance and absences in General regulations for more important information about participation, attendance and absences.
Voluntary withdrawal/transfers

- transfer to an alternate open section of the same course, where available;
- transfer into a different course that is equal or lower in cost to the original course, as long as the learner meets any required application, admission, and/or prerequisite requirements. Where the course transferred into is a lower price than the original course, the difference in price will be refunded to the learner.
Students who wish to transfer their registration to a different course or the same course with a later start date may do so at no cost up until seven (7) days before the start of the course (provided the courses are the same price). Students who wish to change course or start dates within one (1) to six (6) days before the start date of the course may do so upon payment of a $50.00 administrative fee(and any applicable price differences)
