For students on the 2016-2018 and later catalogs:

Step 1: Apply for the Food and Society certificate: Minor/Certificate Application

• Select “Natural Sciences” in the first dropdown menu of the application, and then “FOOD AND SOCIETY (CTENSC02)"
• There are no additional application materials or requirements, and your application will be automatically approved. 

Step 2: Once you have received a SAN indicating that you have been approved for the certificate, contact your academic advisor and ask that the Food and Society certificate be attached to your degree profile. Failing to take this step can result in not receiving the certificate when you graduate. 

Step 3: Begin or continue taking Food and Society courses with your UT coursework. See the Required Coursework tab. Classes taken before applying will count towards the certificate. Use the Interactive Degree Audit to keep track of your progress. 

Step 4: Either in the semester you are finishing certificate courses or in your graduation semester (whichever is later), fill out the Food and Society Completion Survey to ensure the certificate appears on your transcript.

For students on the 2014-2016 or prior catalogs:

1. Begin taking Food and Society courses along with your other UT coursework.
2. If you are a BSA student who is using this certificate to fulfill their minor/certificate requirement for graduation, you must contact your academic advisor to have the certificate added to your degree audit.
3. Keep a record of your certificate progress to stay up to date with what you have completed. Contact your advisor for any questions.
4. During your last semester of Food and Society coursework, complete the Food and Society Certificate Completion Survey
5. Once the semester ends, the certification program will process and the certificate will be added to your transcript.

If you do not know the catalog that your degree falls under, please contact your academic advisor.
