FAQ
This FAQ page provides quick answers to common questions about our professional development programs, licensure options, and enrollment processes.
Most students take two courses per semester which allows them to complete an endorsement in one year. This represents a significant time commitment to the program.
Yes. All courses are offered at least once in any calendar year. Taking one or two classes per semester, or skipping a semester, is at your discretion. However, you need to plan to complete an endorsement in no longer than three years. Also understand that any semester where you enroll in less than six credit hours will not be covered by Federal Financial Aid if you have chosen to apply for that support.
The content for all classes is available online. The cohort model for the graduate certificate uses this content in conjunction with at least one face-to-face meeting per semester. This collegial cohort model also entitles you to some special scholarship funds that reduce the cost of your tuition. Some endorsement programs are online only as well for your convenience. Contact us for more information.
Each program will consider "advanced standing" for applicable previous graduate credit. Ultimately we will need an official transcript and a complete syllabus for each advanced standing course application. All courses MUST HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITHIN 5 YEARS to count and course syllabi must be from the course as it was taken at that time. Also, let us know if the advanced standing course was taken through UC.

Possibly, depending on the Graduate Certificate program you are enrolled in, as some programs are not eligible due to Federal Regulations. Many of our programs are eligible for financial aid once you have applied and been accepted into the graduate certificate program and enrolled in at least 6 semester hours a term.
