Graduate Certificate in Applied Data Science: Certificate Completion Form

The certificate completion form is due by the last day of instruction in the semester in which you complete the certificate coursework requirements. All three courses must be either completed or currently in progress.

(Students who apply for the certificate after having completed all of the certificate requirements should submit the completion form by the final day of instruction in the semester in which they submit their application.)

After the semester is complete and final course grades have been entered in your academic record, staff will verify whether you have successfully met the certificate requirements. The certificate completion will be noted on your official transcript, and a physical certificate will be mailed to you. Certificates are typically mailed within 2–3 months of the end of the semester. The certificate will not appear on your UC Berkeley diploma.
