How to print the workshop session certificate (if applicable to the workshop)

Some workshops will allow the student to print a Certificate of Completion after the session is over.  The instructor must update your enrollment before you can print the Certificate.  The Certificate will verify your attendance at a workshop.    The Certificate is in a pdf format that can be printed or saved to your local computer.  If you cannot obtain a Certificate of Completion through the workshop system, please email training@gmu.edu.  Not all workshops will award a Certificate of Completion.

After attending a workshop, login to the Mason workshop system.
