Coursework must be completed within two years. If you are enrolled in multiple certificate programs, a maximum of two workshops can count toward more than one certificate. Required workshops cannot be waived, though substitutions may be approved on a case-by-case basis. UNH reserves the right to modify or discontinue programs at any time.
