Completion Reporting

After a student has completed all requirements described above they should fill out this completion form detailing which courses, workshops, brown bags, and capstone the students plan to apply to the certificate. Email the completed form to mcap@purdue.edu with the subject "MCAP Certificate Requirements Complete" to alert the steering committee of the completed requirements. We will send a confirmation email verifying receipt of your email.

To facilitate tracking of students who are enrolled in certificate programs, the Office of the Registrar will establish a special admission status for such individuals. When a student completes the requirements for a certificate, the MCAP steering committee will notify the Graduate School. The Graduate School is responsible for certifying the completion of requirements. The Graduate School will audit the following items to certify the completion of requirements.

(a) the name of the student including PUID,
(b) student status, i.e. degree student including PUID,
(c) the complete name of each course, including course prefix and number,
(d) the grade in each course, and
(e) the semester and year each course is completed.

The Graduate School will then notify the Office of the Registrar.
