of the coursework credits required for a certificate can be transferred in from
another university or from a Michigan Tech undergraduate degree schedule. Credits
applied toward a certificate can be used to satisfy both requirements for a
degree and requirements for a certificate.

5 years prior to the date on which the certificate will be awarded. Research
credits (if required for the certificate) must be earned through Michigan Tech.
