HLC does not review and approve certificate programs that are not offered in credit hours, clock hours or through direct assessment. Such programs are not included in the scope of HLC accreditation. Click “Submit” to complete this form. You will receive an email indicating HLC received your information about this certificate program.

An institution must seek prior HLC approval for every direct assessment program, as well as every concentration (or any subset) of each direct assessment program that it intends to initiate. Please complete and submit a competency-based education program application instead of the certificate application.

An institution must seek prior approval for its first two credit-based CBE programs. (Note: credit-based CBE programs that were offered prior to May 1, 2015, and are included in the institution’s approvals do not count toward the first two programs approvals.) Please complete and submit a competency-based education program application instead of the certificate application.

HLC does not review and individually approve certificate programs that are mostly made up of existing courses or that are a subset of existing programs. Click “Submit” to complete this form. You will be sent an email from HLC indicating that individual approval is not required for this certificate program.
