We suggest you take a Design Foundations Course before you submit your Declaration of Intent form. If you feel comfortable signing up before taking a design course, this is also fine.
After you have completed your coursework, you can submit the Completion of Certificate form for verification. If you plan to complete your certificate requirements during the Fall 2024, Spring 2025, or Summer 2025 semesters, please fill out the 2024-25 Completion of Certificate form. If you’ve completed your certificate requirements in a previous academic year, please fill out the Completion of Certificate form for the appropriate academic year: Completion of Certificate Archive
A certificate from all four sponsoring units will be issued upon completion of all course requirements. Applications will be reviewed once final grades are submitted for each semester and certificates will be issued after the review and verification process. Please note, the Certificate will not appear on your transcript.
