OBTAINING YOUR CERTIFICATION

These certificates are available to all students across the University and non-degree-seeking professionals seeking to increase their skill set.

B. Students in the University of Colorado system must fill out and submit an Intercampus Enrollment Form to the Registrar’s office.

C. Non-degree-seeking students must apply to the University of Colorado as non-degree-seeking undergraduate students.

Once you have completed it, send a screenshot of your results to Marisa, the program director, at maria.fernandezmartinez@ucdenver.edu
