The Certificate Student Handbook is intended to inform the University of Washington Extension community about policies and procedures concerning students enrolled in certificate programs. In order to preserve the rights of both the individual and the University, it is essential that all students are aware of all institutional policies and regulations. It is the responsibility of each student to be familiar with the contents of this Handbook. For their own benefit, students are urged to familiarize themselves with all relevant portions of the Certificate Student Handbook and ask for clarification of any information by contacting the appropriate department.
