Students must complete the prescribed requirements to graduate with a graduate certificate from Walsh:

  • Complete the program of study within a period of 48 calendar months (four years) from the initial date of course enrollment (as designated by the first semester attended on the student’s Walsh transcript). Extensions to this time requirement will only be granted upon review of the request by the chief academic officer or designee.
  • Earn a minimum 12 graduate semester credit hours, which may include up to a maximum of 3 semester credit hours of advanced standing, therefore requiring 9 semester credit hours in residence in the Strategic Business Communication certificate program.
  • Earn a grade of “C” (2.000) or better in each course counted towards graduation.
  • Achieve a cumulative grade point average of “B” (3.000) or better within the graduate certificate requirements at Walsh.
  • Students preparing for graduation must file an official Application for Graduation Form with the Records and Registration office. Students can make an appointment with an academic advisor to review graduation requirements.
  • Students can view their program completion progress any time by logging into Self-Service for Students through the portal and clicking on “My Progress.”
