A certificate is awarded to the student by Blue Ridge CTC upon completion of 32 credit hours of course work in a defined area.  To become eligible to earn a certificate, the student must be a current degree-seeking student or complete the application and admissions process to the college.  Eligibility to earn and receive a certificate does not interfere with the degree-seeking status of the student.  In many cases, the student may be awarded a certificate while at the same time seeking an associate degree. 
Part-time and special non-degree students who take classes at a slow pace will benefit from the credential that a Collegiate Certificate provides.  Certificates are awarded twice a year in December and May.

Students in the Certificate Programs are subject to the Community and Technical College’s requirements for admissions, basic skills testing, and appropriate course placement, including mandated remedial courses, which are not counted toward completion of the program.  Blue Ridge CTC catalog requirements regarding academic standards, student conduct, and graduation procedures also apply.
