Declaration of Intent to Pursue a Graduate Certificate

Pursue a Graduate Certificate

Current graduate students at WSU enrolled in a degree program or in a non-degree program may complete an online application to declare an intent to pursue a graduate certificate. If you are any other type of student, or a student at a different institution, please complete a graduate admissions application online.

Once the form is submitted, Graduate Admissions will forward the request to the academic program offering the certificate. Once approved by the program and Grauduate Admissions, the Registrar's Office will add the program to your academic profile. This information will show up in MyWSU as a secondary program. Graduate Admissions does not notify students of approval and advisors are not assigned for the certificate program. Please utilize the certificate Graduate Coordinator for inforamation on enrollment and the plan of study requirements.   

Once the program is now active, a Plan of Study for the certificate program should be completed.  Once the Plan is approved by the Graduate School, the application for certificate/degree may be completed in MyWSU. Students may receive a certificate prior to completion of the degree program.
