MULTIPLE PARCHMENTS
An individual can earn up to three parchments for any program or program area (specified courses which lead to a formally approved credential), including certificates (one year) and diplomas (two years) for areas of specialization when:

1. the program has had approval from Alberta Ministry of Learning to offer a certificate and/or diploma.
   
2. each program specialization has been approved.
   
3. each program specialization varies from other specializations within the program by a minimum of 25% of total program credits.
4. the normal progression is from certificate to diploma.
   
5. after a period of seven years, a student may reapply in the same field of original study and be eligible for additional parchments.
   
6. Certificates of Specialization are excluded from this policy.
