- Courses from higher level categories may be used to substitute for elective requirements in lower level categories (ex: a course from the Desktop Publishing 2 category can be used to fulfill the requirement for a course from the Desktop Publishing 1 category).
- Elective courses can not be double counted; if a certificate requires eight elective courses, eight separate courses in the appropriate categories must be completed to receive that certificate (even if a specific course falls into multiple categories).
