Financial Planning Certificate Program

Requirements

Technological Requirements

Accessing online courses requires a high-speed internet connection, as the learning platform (Blackboard) will not function effectively using a dial-up line. The program can run on either a Mac or PC, but we advise that students do not attempt to complete coursework on a tablet alone. The Blackboard system does not allow students to submit assignments or take exams (among other functions) from a tablet environment.
