Program completion requirements
Final certificate clearance depends on completion of all course requirements, including the posting of final grades to the student’s transcript. All requirements for the certificate must be completed and the certificate awarded within five calendar years after initial enrollment.
In addition to completing all program requirements, students must complete the following degree application process. Navigate to the graduate completion application via MyU through the “Academics” tab > “Degree Progress” and click on the Apply to Graduate link. The application to graduate must be submitted in no later than the first day of the month that you intend to graduate.
Successful completion of the certificate will be noted on the student's official University of Minnesota transcript and an official certificate will be issued.

- Students seeking only the certificate pay the CEHD departmental master’s (M.Ed.) tuition rate.
- Students enrolled in certificate and master of education (M.Ed.) programs pay the CEHD departmental master’s (M.Ed.) tuition rate.
