Information for Continuing Certificate and MCR students:

There are no scheduled required core courses during the summer.  The HIP program will automatically register continuing 1st year certificate students for the core courses in the 2nd year certificate curriculum. 
More information about the Certificate track.

Once you have successfully completed the first year, you may apply to the Master of Clinical Research track.  I would like to meet with applicants to plan a course of study. 
More information about the MCR track.


Course Plans:

All Certificate and MCR students have a course plan that has been entered into Degree Audit.  Please take a moment to check this plan particularly if you have veered off the typical course plan.  This is what I will use to register you in the coming terms. 

You can access this plan via your student self-serve account in ISIS.  This is the same location where you review your account information.  It takes only three clicks from the main menu; click on 'Student Services', click on 'Degree Audit', and then click on 'View Degree Audit'.  Once you have entered your degree audit,  the "worksheet" will show the courses you have taken and what's left to do and the "planner" will show the courses you have planned.  FAQ and Help links can be found at the top of the page.  

If you have any questions about your plan, please contact Karen as soon as possible so that it can be updated.
