General aspects
The aim of the continuing education offering is to update the knowledge and skills needed to progress in professional activities, and to provide options for personal growth that are different from the traditional university degree offering.
Advanced Specialization Certificates are part of the continuing education offering and may be credit-bearing. Participants in this type of program who wish to obtain the corresponding academic credits must comply with the minimum attendance requirement and complete the established course activities. Upon completion of the program, participants will have a qualification and an Advanced Specialization Certificate.
For a continuing education program to be credit-bearing, participants must be informed of the specific evaluation methods. Such participant evaluation must comply with the criteria defined in the academic regulations for graduate students. Grades for Advanced Specialization Certificates are numerical, from 1 to 100, with 70 as the passing grade; a grade of at least 80 is required to obtain academic credit.
Final grades are recorded by the instructor and can only be changed when a record error can be proved. If the final grade is called into question, participants should contact their instructor directly. If the issue cannot be resolved with the instructor, participants should file a formal appeal with the academic Coordinator of the program, which will be referred to the corresponding department. Final grade appeals must be filed no more than 10 business days after the final grade has been assigned.
Course instructors have been approved and authorized by the academic departments and the Academic Commission for Graduate Studies of Tecnológico de Monterrey. This academic oversight assures the excellence of the content of the Advanced specialization Certificate and the quality of its instruction.
