SNWC FAQs
- Can I complete this at my own pace?

Students are expected to follow their plan of study. Any changes to that plan can be discussed with the student’s advisor.

No, courses are only offered during certain terms each year. A student’s plan of study is therefore based on this course availability.
- Is there funding available?

As non-degree students, most types of financial aid and scholarships are not available to students enrolling in certificate programs. Full-time employees at Ohio State may be eligible for tuition assistance, which can aid in the costs of this certificate.
