This certificate program is designed for persons employed in the areas of law enforcement, national security or corrections, who wish to attend university courses. The program is offered in Day and Evening divisions. Candidates for the certificate are also encouraged to investigate undergraduate degree programs offered by the University. Courses taken for the certificate are normally creditable towards a Bachelor of Arts degree. Such a degree program will normally require at least 9.0 further credits in addition to those required for the certificate. Persons who wish to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree after taking the certificate must complete at least 5.0 of the credits required for a Bachelor of Arts degree after the awarding of the certificate, at least 3.0 of which must be in the area of specialization of the new program.
The basic admission requirement is the completion of the OSSD including six OACs, or the equivalent, with an overall average of 60 percent or better. Special consideration will be extended to other applicants under Mature Applicant regulations (see p. 35).
