Certificate Questions

 Below are some frequently asked questions about specialized certificate programs available through the Computer Education & Training Center. For further information, call (314) 984-9000 or e-mail info@cetc.umsl.edu.

How is the Chancellor's Certificate on the Computer different from a specialized certificate?
To earn the Chancellor's Certificate on the Computer, you do not have to complete an application form, there are no specified required classes, and there is currently no time limit to complete the 96 hours of classes. To earn a specialized certificate, you must complete an application form and fulfill the specific requirements described for each certificate within the time specified.

Is there a difference in the registration process for specialized certificate classes?
There is no difference when you register for any particular class. To obtain a specialized certificate, however, you must complete an application form and pay a one-time $25 nonrefundable application fee for each certificate. Be sure to carefully read the specific requirements listed in our catalog or on-line course listing.

Why can't I count classes I took more than 24 months ago?
We've set standards for the specialized certificates because we want the certificates to be current, meaningful, and valuable for our students and to employers. These standards include specific class and hour requirements and the time frame in which the certificate must be completed.
