Certificates of Achievement are granted for the completion of a specified program, or specified courses, whose total requirement is 18 units or more.  These state-approved certificates acknowledge workplace competencies and job readiness.
 
Specific course requirements are listed in the program descriptions in the catalog. In many, but not all cases, the courses that comprise the certificate of achievement program are the same as those that comprise the major for the Associate in Science degree.
 
Students must complete all courses in the certificate program with a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” or “P.”  A minimum of 12 units in the certificate program must be completed at Irvine Valley College.
 
Waiver of Certificate Requirements: 
Students with previous educational or vocational experience who wish to waive a required course in a certificate program will be expected to verify equivalency by examination.  Petitions for course waivers or substitutions are available in the Counseling Center.
 
Application for Evaluation:
Certificates are not awarded automatically.  Students who expect to earn a certificate from the college must file an application for evaluation with the Office of Admission and Records. Responsibility for filing this application rests with the student, and transcripts for all college work attempted must be on file for the application to be considered. Students who complete a certificate of achievement may participate in commencement. Information about graduation, including application deadlines, is available online on the admissions page of the college’s website.
