STEPS TO BECOMING A CIP

When you successfully complete your final exam in the CIP program, you are automatically eligible to graduate, but a few steps need to happen before you can begin using your CIP designation. We need to ensure you meet the academic requirements of the program, including at least one year of full-time employment in the industry. If we require any additional information from you, you will be notified by email.

 

Students who wrote (and passed!) their final exam in December 2022, April 2023 and July 2023 are invited to attend convocation as a graduate for the November 21, 2023 event.
