General Certificate FAQ
Do I need to declare candidacy for a certificate before taking my courses?
It’s preferable if you do, but you can still declare candidacy even after taking a course. Declaring candidacy does not commit you to completing it, but you will receive a 10% discount on future NYU SPS continuing education courses.
Can I apply my 10% discount on courses I’ve already taken?
Assuming the course is part of the certificate, yes, but only if the course was taken within an acceptable time frame. The academic department gives students a specific amount of time to complete a certificate. The start date would be adjusted to the first class to which we applied the discount.
Do I get a digital badge for my certificate?
Yes, if a student declares candidacy for a certificate and achieves an average overall grade of B or higher in courses counting toward the certificate, they will be awarded a certificate badge upon completion, which will be shareable on their resume and LinkedIn profile.
Do we get financial aid for these courses?
No, continuing education courses and certificates do not qualify for financial aid.
Can this course be applied to a degree?
