Can I count a course towards the Certificate that was taken Cr/D/F?
For courses taken in Spring 2020: YES.
For courses taken in other semesters: No. Every course in the certificate must be taken for a grade.
Certificate
The certificate in Data Science
Can I overlap courses between the Certificate and my major (like we can with double majors)?
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. Or, you could ask your DUS that you be allowed to complete a different course in your major. Similarly, we note that the term “prerequisite” is used by EP&E (for example – maybe others) to describe courses that count for the major but are “prerequisite” to applying to the major; an overlap here is similarly not permitted.
Can a graduate student receive the Certificate in Data Science?
No. The certificate is only for undergraduates.
Can a student complete both the S&DS Major and the Data Science Certificate?
No.
How will the certificate appear on my transcript?
The S&DS certificate notation appears upon graduation and is listed in the upper left hand corner of a student’s transcript in the form:
Student Number
Record of: [student name]
College:
How do I select or register/unregister for the Certificate?
