Those who completed one of these Graduate Certificate Courses prior to June 12, 2020 will be credited following payment of $1,550. This accounts for the difference between the original tuition paid and the current full tuition for the Graduate Certificate Course. Those completing one of these Graduate Certificate Courses after June 12, 2020 will be credited following payment of $1,475. This accounts for the difference between the discounted tuition paid and the current full tuition for the Graduate Certificate Course.
