All students who are interested in the certificate, will need to apply to the certificate program (even if they are already UGA students), so that we can assure that they enroll in all required classes and can notify the Graduate School when they have completed the requisite courses. Those students who are not currently enrolled at UGA, must apply as a non-degree seeking graduate student to the Learning, Design, and Technology program. We will use the Graduate School’s admissions standards for non-degree students. We will not impose any further requirements.
Any currently enrolled student who chooses to pursue this certificate, must notify the program chair of the Learning, Design, and Technology program so that they can be assigned an advisor who can then help ensure successful completion of the courses.
