Certificate Completion
During or after the semester in which you complete your certificate course requirements, you should make an appointment with a GSS co-director. You must bring with you a completed exit form and an unofficial transcript to demonstrate your successful completion of the course sequence.

Following the successful completion of all requirements, the GSS co-director will confirm your qualifications in scholarship in gender and sexuality studies. Your graduate certificate will appear on your final transcript and your degree from The New School.
