Graduate Microcredential Requirements
- The total number of credit hours required for a graduate microcredential may vary by academic discipline but must require a minimum of 1 credit hour and not more than 8 credit hours.
- At least 50% of the microcredential requirements must be earned at USI.
- Coursework taken more than 7 years before the microcredential is awarded cannot be applied, unless a Petition to Validate an Expired Graduate Course has been approved.
- Microcredentials may be stand-alone or linked to an existing degree program. A microcredential, therefore, may be embedded within a larger degree program and stacked with other microcredentials and certificates toward a degree (i.e. master’s) program. Academic departments may determine whether coursework taken to complete a microcredential can also be applied to a degree program.
- Students earning a graduate microcredential are not eligible to participate in commencement exercises, but the credential will be added to their official transcript record.
