Students enrolled in degree programs at Trinity may simultaneously pursue a certificate and these courses will count toward both credentials.<\/p>\n<p>Academic Standing: Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the post-baccalaureate certificate program and may count no more than one course in which a \u201cC\u201d was earned toward the post-baccalaureate certificate. Courses in the certificate programs are repeatable. Satisfactory academic progress is a criterion for the award of financial aid. Students not making academic progress will be referred to their academic advisor for academic counseling.
