General Regulations University certificate programs provide interim qualifications
in specific subject areas. The following general regulations apply
to all certificate programs.
|
<
1. |
Students must complete 50 percent* of the
total credits required through AU. Up to 50 percent of the required
credits may be transferred from another post-secondary institution.
|
* |
Some certificate programs require less
than 50
percent, e.g., University Certificate in Counselling
Women and University Certificate in English
Language Studies.
|
2. |
University certificate credentials are
awarded throughout the year. Students
must submit an Application for
Graduation Form to the Office of the
Registrar (see 6.19. Convocation).
|
3. |
Students with less than 50 percent of
coursework completed in their current
AU degree program
may withdraw from their degree and
apply into a university certificate
program. Credit will be awarded (from the previous incomplete degree
program) to the extent permissible
under the applicable program
regulations in effect at the time of the
change of credential.
|
4. |
Students with 50 percent of coursework
completed in their current Athabasca
University degree program must receive
written permission from the appropriate
program director before being eligible
to change from their current degree
program to a university certificate
program.
|
5. |
Students who change their program of study
from an AU degree program to a university certificate program forfeit
their standing in the degree program. If students wish to return
to the degree program (after being enrolled in the university certificate
program) they will be required to meet the degree requirements in
effect at the time of re-enrolment (see 6.5.2. ) to the degree.
|
6. |
Students with a degree or a graduate diploma/degree
(either from Athabasca University or another institution) that contains
more than 50 percent of the credits required for any specific university
certificate program, cannot enrol in the specific university certificate
program unless the regulations as outlined for the specific certificate
formally permit such enrolments (e.g., University Certificate in French
Language Proficiency).
|
7. |
Students may obtain either the
University Certificate in Human
Resources and Labour Relations
(formerly Industrial Relations and
Human Resources) or the University
Certificate in Labour Studies,
but not both.
