Questions Relating to Course Selection
Questions Relating to the Administration of the Certificate

Course Selection

1. My course schedule is only tentative. I might drop some of the courses I have selected or might add others. What shall I do?

Please include in your notification all the courses you have currently selected and which fulfill the course requirements of the certificate. We will request a copy of your final transcript to verify whether you fulfill the requirements.

2. I am on the wait list for some of the courses that would fulfill the requirement. Can I include them in the notification anyway?

Yes you can. Please be aware though, that you will have to fulfill all WTO Certificate requirements to get the Certificate. If you do not get in the course and you need it for the Certificate, you will have to add another eligible course to your schedule.

3. How will you verify that I have taken the courses which I have indicated on my notification?

We will request verification of your final transcript from the Registrar.

4. How will you verify that I have fulfilled the requirement for extracurricular activities?

We will ask you to send us confirmation of the events that you attended.

Administration of the Certificate

1. I am an evening student. When do I have to submit my notification?

As an evening student you have to submit your notification at least four semesters before you graduate. E.g. if you finish your studies within 7 semesters, you have to notify the IIEL by the end of the second week of the 3rd semester.

2. I am a part-time LL.M. student. When do I have to submit my notification?

As a part-time LL.M. student you have to submit your notification at least two semesters before you graduate. E.g. if you finish your studies within 3 semesters, you have to notify the IIEL by the end of the second week of your second semester.

3. When and how will I get the Certificate?

Your transcript will indicate that you earned the WTO Certificate, and it will be announced at graduation when you receive your diploma.  The Certificate itself will be mailed to you about a month after graduation.
