The best way to check if a course was listed under Women’s/Gender Studies is to ask your teacher if it was. It may be the case that it was not, but has since been included, or will be in the future. Either way, you can ask the teacher of that course to possibly fill out an attestation form. They will have to consider 2 things for you to get credit towards a certificate:

1. Did the course offer a regular possibility to address Women’s/Gender issues?
2. Did you complete a significant assignment that addressed Women’s/Gender Issues?

Certificates are handed out at convocation at the end of the term you graduate in. Be sure to signal to the coordinator of the program if you are graduating and have completed 5 courses in Women’s/Gender Studies.

If the course was not listed, it is possible that it will be in the future, or the teacher was not aware of this certificate program. If that is the case, speak to your teacher.
