Lumen Structures: How to Request Professional Certificate Codes (LCRT, MCRT, PCRT, VCRT) (Graduate/Professional Certificate)
Instructions on how to fill out proposals for adding the professional career SIS plan code for existing graduate certificates.
All graduate certificates (GCRTXXX) can be awarded to students in a professional career (law, medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine). These codes are created when a student wants to complete it; not at the time the graduate/professional certificate is created. When a certificate program identifies a student from a professional program that wishes to declare the certificate they must submit a Lumen Structures program requesting the creation of the appropriate plan code.
Academic planning help
The code will be added in SIS for the next available term i.e. if submitted in March, will be effective summer.
