No. There can be no overlap between courses used to complete your major and the certificate. If a course in the certificate must be counted in your major, we suggest that you take a different course in the certificate. We will prepare a list of allowable substitutions.

No. Every course in the certificate must be taken for a grade. If you have alredy taken a course for the Certificate Cr/D/F, we suggest that you take a substitute course for a grade. We will produce a list of substitute courses. These will be more advanced, downstream courses.
We hope to begin offering these new courses in the 2019-2020 academic year. We caution that these courses will not count towards the S&DS Major.
