An overall GPA of 2.50 or higher is required for the Basic Substance Use Disorder Certificate program courses. Basic Substance Use Disorder Certificate Program Sunset Policy : Students signing up for the Basic Substance Use Disorder Certificate program in a given catalog year can apply previously completed courses towards their certificate (see Course Grade Policy) as long as the courses were taken no longer than 10 years prior to the date of declaration. Basic Substance Use Disorder Certificate Program Transfer Credit Policy : A course taken at another institution may be applied to meet Basic Substance Use Disorder Certificate program credits if: a) there is an official articulation agreement in place between programs in the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE); or b) the course is at the same credit level, the number of credit hours is the same for the course being substituted, and content is determined to be equivalent by the Department of Social Work and Gerontology appeals and waivers committee. Course credits must be transferred to Weber State University. The Basic Substance Use Disorder Certificate program grade requirements and sunset policy apply to transfer credits.
