Certificate Types

Major-dependent: A student is admitted to the program through the offering department. Admission to the program requires the student to be pursuing a specific degree/major at Texas A&M University. This type of certificate program typically serves as a track within a degree program. The certificate and degree are awarded simultaneously.

Degree-dependent: A student is admitted to the program through the offering department. Admission to the program requires the student to be pursuing a degree at Texas A&M University. The certificate is awarded upon completion of the requirements independent of a degree. Students that do not complete a degree-dependent certificate before becoming inactive at the university are not eligible to be readmitted to these programs unless they pursue an additional degree.

Stand-alone: A student is admitted to the program through the Office of Admissions. The student may pursue the certificate without being enrolled in a degree program. The certificate may be awarded upon completion of requirements.

Please reference our Certificate Tracking & Awarding webpage for more information.

Texas A&M Certificate Program Procedures

Creation, Discontinuation, & Maintenance	Tracking & Awarding
Certificates will no longer be posted to the transcript by memo as of August 31, 2017.	Certificate programs will appear on each student’s record as a separate curriculum record, regardless if the certificate is considered stand-alone, degree-dependent, or major-dependent.
Certificate requirement changes, new certificates, or requests to discontinue certificates should be submitted through the curricular approval request system (CARS).	The Office of the Registrar will ensure through the awarding process that major-dependent certificates are awarded concurrently with the respective degree program.
Certificates shall require a minimum of 12 credit hours. A certificate proposed with fewer than 12 credit hours requires a strong academic justification and must have the support of the proposing department and college.	Students may pursue multiple certificate programs concurrently. However, including a student’s degree program(s), a student may not pursue more than five programs of any kind concurrently.
Office of the Registrar will not build certificate program and codes until all approvals have been obtained. • For programs not seeking financial aid eligibility, final approval is either the Office of the President, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, if the certificate exceeds the credit hour thresholds (15 for graduate, 20 for undergraduate), or the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) if the certificate is of a significant departure from previously approved programs. https://sacscoc.org/accrediting-standards/substantive-changes/substantive-change-faqs/ • For programs seeking financial aid, approval is also needed from the US Department of Education and will be communicated to the Office of the Registrar from Scholarships & Financial Aid.	Colleges/departments admitting students into certificate programs will add the appropriate program code to the student’s curriculum record.
Students should not be admitted to a certificate program before it has received all approvals.	The UAS workflow will be modified to accommodate submitting adjustments and exceptions for certificate programs. Certificate program staff will be designated for authorization to submit these requests.
Office of the Registrar will build a unique major code (STVMAJR) for each approved certificate based on certificate name. Certificate program codes (SMAPRLE, SOACURR, SZVMCIP, SFACPRL) will utilize the following naming convention (where ‘XXXX’ is the major code):	Students will need to submit a graduation application in Howdy for certificates to be awarded. An individual application for each program is required. This should be done during the term in which the student will complete certificate requirements. A $25 Certificate Processing and Service Charge is assessed for each certificate graduation application submitted by a student. This charge is non-refundable. Additionally, this charge cannot be transferred to another certificate graduation application.
• UCT-XXXX Undergraduate, non-financial aid eligible certificate • UCT-XXXX-XDE Undergraduate, non-financial aid eligible, distance education certificate	Office of the Registrar will award certificates no more frequently than the last calendar day of each month. Major-dependent certificates will be awarded once the degree is conferred. Standalone and degree-dependent certificates can be awarded at the end of the month in which all requirements are met.
• GCT-XXXX Graduate, non-financial aid eligible certificate • GCT-XXXX-XDE Graduate, non-financial aid eligible, distance education certificate	All University certificates will be awarded using a consistent credential with a format similar to, but distinct from the diploma of Texas A&M University.
• CTU-XXXX Undergraduate, financial aid eligible certificate • CTU-XXXX-XDE Undergraduate, financial aid eligible, distance education certificate	All University certificates will be issued by the Office of the Registrar and will contain the signatures of the University President, Chancellor, and the Chair of the Board of Regents, similar to the diploma.
• CTG-XXXX Graduate, financial aid eligible certificate • CTG-XXXX-XDE Graduate, financial aid eligible, distance education certificate	University certificates will either be mailed directly to the student or issued to the college for formal presentation.
Office of the Registrar (Curricular Services) will build a degree evaluation based on requirements defined in certificate approval documents. These requirements, similar to degree program requirements, will apply to a catalog year and can be modified each year through the curricular approval process.	Office of the Registrar will provide official verifications of certificates awarded under these standards.
