CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION and SPECIAL EMPHASIS

CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION

The Open Enrollment Certificate of Completion program provides an opportunity for those individuals who many not have the necessary academic prerequisites to enter a graduate program to study with the HUGS faculty. It also provides academic and experiential opportunities to expand and grow.

The Open Enrollment Certificate of Completion program allows admittance into academic studies for those individuals who may not yet be ready to commit fully to a degree plan.

A Certificate of Completion is earned with the successful completion of nine (9) credit hours in a specific area of interest through Holos University Graduate Seminary. Equivalency credit is not applicable towards a Certificate of Completion program. After successfully completing nine (9) credit hours, Certificate of Completion level students may request a Certificate of Completion from the Office of the Registrar. There is a small processing and mailing fee for each certificate.

As these courses are graduate level courses, they are eligible to be transferred into a degree plan for those who apply and are approved by the Academic Review and Admissions Committee. Those students who meet the requirements to be admitted to a graduate degree plan may transfer courses completed in the Certificate Program directly into the Masters, Doctoral, or Combined Masters/Doctoral degree plan at HUGS. Students are required to contact the Registrar to initiate a review for this change.

Students transferring certificate credit to a degree plan are bound by the specific degree requirements described in the Official Catalog governing the semester in which they are admitted to the degree plan.

Course delivery and requirements are identical to those in the degree plans. However, credits earned do not apply toward a degree unless the student subsequently applies, has the necessary prerequisites, and is accepted officially into the degree plan by HUGS Academic Review and Admissions Committee.

SPECIAL EMPHASIS

A "special emphasis" applies to a diploma for a student who has graduated from HUGS in a graduate degree plan by meeting all the necessary graduation requirements. A "special emphasis" is earned with the completion of nine (9) credit hours in a specific area of interest.

Equivalency credit may be accepted and applied towards a special emphasis. Students seeking equivalency credit must attend the 708-Equivalency Credit Portfolio Preparation course, which is an non-credit hour course. An equivalency credit portfolio is to be submitted to the Academic Review and Admissions Committee for approval of credit hours within the students first 12 months of attendance at HUGS.
