Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All

Can this program be completed entirely online?

Currently, all classes are offered online or live online. Online courses deliver all instruction and course materials  asynchronously and are completed online between the published course start and end dates.
Live online courses are synchronous web-based class meetings that are scheduled to meet online at published times (time/date).

Is this certificate open to non-California residents?

Yes, the program is open to non-California residents, including non-US residents. The certificate and course fees are the same for all students. However, all courses are offered in-person, so they must be taken on site in San Diego. 

If you have questions about how enrolling in courses may or may not affect your visa status, please contact our International Department at ipinfo@ucsd.edu or (858) 534-6784.
 

How do I enroll in a course?

To enroll into a class, click on the class link in the matrix and that will take you to that class page. There you can find a course description, prerequisites, and the start date for that course. To enroll in the course can click on “Add to Cart” which will lead you to complete the registration/payment process.
 

How long is this program?

Students can complete all courses in as quickly as 9 months. However, each course includes an average of 6-8 hours of homework per week. Taking more than one class a quarter should be well-thought-out, and other work/school/life commitments should be considered prior to enrolling in more than one class per quarter. You have up to five years to complete all requirements for the certificate.

If I already have the skills taught in one of the required courses, can I skip that course?


If you have taken a course from an accredited university covering the learning objectives of a required or elective course, you may be able to transfer a total of one class per certificate to Extension. You may send your request along with details about how the class at your accredited university is equivalent to our Extension course. Attach an electronic transcript and send your email to Infotech@ucsd.edu
If you have not taken a course elsewhere, but already have the skills covered in a course, you may be able to substitute an alternate Extension course in its place. Send your request to substitute one of the program courses to Infotech@ucsd.edu. In your request, indicate which course you would like to take and which course it would substitute. Include how a substitution may better meet your professional or employment needs. The class should align with the overall student learning outcomes of this certificate. As previously mentioned only one waiver total can be granted per certificate. Requests for these considerations require departmental approval. Contact Infotech@ucsd.edu to make a request or for additional information.
