Certificates of Achievement

A Certificate of Achievement may be awarded to a student who has completed a required sequence of courses in an occupational field. Students must file a Certificate Application electronically via MyCOD Student Portal under the A&R Forms link by the posted deadline.

A minimum of a “C” average shall be maintained in all courses required for the certificate. All courses shall be approved by the department advisor.
