Chapter 4: 1xbet best casino website Certificate Programs

Description
Admission and General Requirements
Guidelines and Procedures for Approval of Certificate Programs

A. Description

A certificate of 1xbet best casino website study is a non-degree credential designed to provide students with specialized knowledge that is less extensive than, and different from, a master's program. A certificate program represents a focused collection of courses that, when completed, affords the student some record of coherent academic accomplishment in a given discipline or set of related disciplines.

B. Admission and General Requirements

To gain admission to a certificate program, the student must be approved for admission both by the 1xbet best casino website faculty of the program and by the 1xbet best casino website School. Under most circumstances, language proficiency requirements for a 1xbet best casino website certificate are the same as those for other 1xbet best casino website studies. Programs may request an exception to waive the language proficiency requirement and provide strong justification such as extensive work experience when the individual has been continuously employed in the United States or another English speaking country for an extended period of time.

Students apply to a 1xbet best casino website certificate program following the standard 1xbet best casino website application process.

The general requirements for 1xbet best casino website certificate programs are:

The program must include between 12 and 20 hours of 1xbet best casino website credit. Certificates linked to specific doctoral programs may have requirements above the 20 hour maximum only if those additional hours would normally be a part of the program of study for the student's doctoral degree.
In any 1xbet best casino website certificate program, a minimum of 12 hours at the 600 level or above is required. A maximum of 3 hours of independent study course, such as readings or problems courses may be included in a certificate program requiring 12-15 hours. A maximum of 6 hours of independent study courses, such as readings or problems courses may be included in a certificate program requiring 16 or more hours.
A minimum of two-thirds of the required credit hours for a 1xbet best casino website certificate must be completed at Kansas State University.
Upon approval of the student's supervisory committee, credit from a certificate program may be applied to a 1xbet best casino website degree program.
Courses may be used to fulfill requirements of more than one certificate program contingent on the requirements of each 1xbet best casino website certificate program.
Upon approval of the coordinator of the 1xbet best casino website certificate program, credits earned before the student entered the certificate program may be applied to that program.
The minimum grade requirements for certificate programs are the same as those for 1xbet best casino website degrees. For 1xbet best casino website credit, the grade in a course must be C or higher. To remain in good standing, a student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
A student may retake a course with subsequent removal of the prior grade only once for each course and for a total of two courses for the approved list of courses in the certificate program. An approved list of courses must be on file in the 1xbet best casino website School at the time the retake request is submitted. If the course is retaken by the direction of the certificate program coordinator, the original grade is noted as retaken and removed from the grade point average. The retake grade will always be used in computing the grade point average regardless of whether it is higher or lower than the original grade.
Students dismissed from a 1xbet best casino website Certificate Program must petition for readmission. For the reinstatement procedure refer to Chapter 2, Section G, G.2 or Chapter 3, Section G, G.2.
To be awarded a 1xbet best casino website certificate, the student (a) must have earned all the required credits in the six years prior to the semester in which the certificate plan is submitted, (b) must not be on probation, (c) must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher on 1xbet best casino website coursework and on coursework applied to the certificate, (d) must meet all the requirements of the 1xbet best casino website School and the student's certificate program, (e) must be enrolled during the semester when the student applies for graduation for the certificate, and (f) must provide official transcripts for any approved transfer credits. Transfer credit must be from an accredited institution. 1xbet best casino website certificate programs may specify higher requirements.

C. Guidelines and Procedures for Approval of 1xbet best casino website Certificate Programs

C1. Introduction

1xbet best casino website certificate programs may be created within the structure of the 1xbet best casino website School. A certificate of 1xbet best casino website study is a non-degree credential designed to provide students with specialized knowledge that is less extensive than, and different from, a master's program. A certificate program represents a focused collection of courses that, when completed, affords the student some record of coherent academic accomplishment in a given discipline or set of related disciplines.

In the preferred model, students are enrolled in both a 1xbet best casino website degree program (master's or doctoral) and a 1xbet best casino website certificate program; the academic experience provided by the 1xbet best casino website certificate program is, therefore, interdisciplinary in nature. Some certificate programs are linked to specific 1xbet best casino website degree programs, such that they provide an interdisciplinary experience within a defined body of knowledge. It is equally acceptable that the certificate program should be appropriate for students in a range of academic programs. If a certificate program is free standing (i.e. not linked to a 1xbet best casino website degree program), students are admitted to the 1xbet best casino website School as non-degree students. Whether linked or free-standing, certificate programs are not encouraged where they might detract from or cannibalize existing 1xbet best casino website degree programs. Rather, certificate programs are encouraged where they might provide value-added benefits to students in existing 1xbet best casino website degree programs or provide a needed educational initiative for post-baccalaureate students in an area not currently addressed by a 1xbet best casino website degree program.

C2. Process of Approval for New 1xbet best casino website Certificate Programs

Proposals for new 1xbet best casino website certificate programs may be created and submitted by constituent 1xbet best casino website faculty in the same manner as proposals for new 1xbet best casino website degree programs, except that all approvals are made internally at Kansas State University. Proposals must be accompanied by endorsement from the department heads and deans of the colleges in which the contributing coursework is administered, as well as from those academic units whose students, courses, or programs could be impacted by the creation of the new 1xbet best casino website certificate. Proposals must be endorsed by the relevant College faculty in accordance with normal routing procedures for changes in curriculum.

New 1xbet best casino website certificates in areas where joint 1xbet best casino website programs are conducted with other universities will normally be endorsed by the collaborating departments at the other institution as well. The 1xbet best casino website Council considers all 1xbet best casino website certificate program proposals on their academic merit. Those meeting the criteria set forth by the 1xbet best casino website Council are then recommended to the Faculty Senate for final approval.

C3. Criteria for Approval

The following information should be included in the proposal for a new certificate program:

The proposed sequence of coursework must offer a clear and appropriate educational objective at the post-baccalaureate level.
The proposed program must achieve its educational objective in an efficient and well-defined manner.
A demonstrated need or demand for such a program must exist. This provision may be defined in terms of either external markets (e.g., external demand for the skills associated with such a certificate) or internal academic needs (e.g., the need for a critical mass of students in a given discipline).
The certificate program must include an appropriate number of credit hours, normally between 12 and 20.
The Assessment of Student Learning Plan must be approved by the 1xbet best casino website Council Assessment and Review Committee.

The proposal is approved based on need and perceived program quality.

C4. Application Procedure for a New Certificate Program

A statement of the educational objectives of the certificate program;

A statement of the need for the proposed certificate and the basis for such a need, supported by either externally or internally derived data;
