The following guidelines are to be followed by students in the Undergraduate Certificate program:
1. A student must complete four half-course equivalents.
2. A cumulative grade point average of 2.50 is required. A course grade below "C" will not be applied to the Undergraduate Certificate program.
3. The program must be completed within three calendar years.
4. Relevant courses taken prior to admission may be credited towards the Undergraduate Certificate program subject to guidelines set by the Post-Degree Continuous Learning Coordinating Group at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½. The date of the first course credited toward the Undergraduate Certificate program will indicate the commencement of the program time limit.
General Notes:
1. The Undergraduate Certificate, in combination with a Bachelor of Education (or equivalent degree) may contribute toward the completion of the teaching certificate for those students who have studied in other jurisdictions or are updating their credentials. However, the determination of eligibility to teach in Alberta is made by the Teacher Development and Certification Branch of Alberta Education.
2. Courses applied towards any other completed academic credential will not be credited towards an Undergraduate Certificate.
3. Courses taken without program approval may not be credited. Division permission is required for courses.
4. No more than one half-course equivalent may be taken outside of the Division.
5. Registration as an open student does not constitute admission to an Undergraduate Certificate program.
6. Components of the Undergraduate Certificate are not transferable for credit to the Bachelor of Education (Master of Teaching Program) in the Faculty of Education at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½.
