New Certificate

Body

The creation of a new certificate may require SACSCOC review. Proponents should contact the Office of the Provost prior to creating a new certificate to determine if SACSCOC  approval is required.

Proponents must complete the new program form and submit the following:

  1. Proposed Budget
  2. Library Resource Form
  3. Assessment Plan
  4. Student/Market Demand Research

A CPE Proposal and SACSCOC Prospectus may be required and will require additional time, if the new certificate is considered substantive change.  The CourseLeaf Program Proposal form outlines each item that must be submitted. Refer to the WKU Curricular Workflow section for required approvals.

If the proposed certificate includes courses offered by another department/ unit, the head of that department/ unit must be consulted regarding staffing and other resources.

Refer to the undergraduate or graduate catalog for WKU policy information on certificate programs.
