2. Partial Completion (Exit Before All 4 Courses Completed):

3. Stacking Towards Certification:
   • Each course completed with the required GPA contributes toward the overall Graduate Certificate.
   • Students who initially exit early but later return to complete the remaining courses (within the specified maximum candidature period) can stack previously earned Certificates of Competency towards the Graduate Certificate, as long as the cumulative GPA requirement is met.
