Computer Information Systems - Network Technology Certificate

General Education/Related Instruction Requirements  Program Requirements  Certificate Outcomes

See program requirement sheet.

The Network Technology Certificate program is designed to train a technician to be capable of installing, troubleshooting, upgrading, and repairing computers and installing computer networks. Courses cover computer software, hardware, and networking essentials. At the completion of the program, a student should be able to prepare for and take the A+ Certification Exam. Students will also learn and gain practice in the topics covered by the Network+ Certification Exam and Server+ Exam. The curriculum is carefully constructed and kept up to date with the ongoing advice of our advisory committee. This Network Technology certificate program is the first year of the Network Technology Associate of Technical Arts degree program.

Credit/Grade Requirements The Network Technology Certificate program is awarded upon a student’s completion of the required 61 credits from the Program Requirements as outlined. A minimum of 30 credits or one-third, whichever is less, of the required credits must have been received from Edmonds Community College. Students are required to maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in all college-level courses.

Cultural Diversity Requirement All students earning degrees and certificates of 45 credits or more must meet a cultural diversity (CD) requirement by completing courses marked as “CD” on the requirement sheet and/or “Meets Cultural Diversity Requirement” in the quarterly class schedule. Those courses may also be used to fulfill other requirements of the degree or certificate.

Graduation Application A completed Graduation Application form must be submitted to Enrollment Services by the 10th day of the quarter in which the student expects to graduate. Forms are available online or at Enrollment Services located in Lynnwood Hall.

Students are advised to:

• Plan their schedule several quarters in advance in order to accommodate courses that are offered only once or twice a year,
• Review the college catalog for required course prerequisites and include these in schedule planning, and
• Communicate with a faculty adviser.

Note: This requirement planning sheet is not a substitute for meeting with an academic adviser. Meeting the requirements to graduate with an Edmonds Community College degree or certificate is ultimately the responsibility of the student.
