📅 Spring 2025 Pilot Enrollment Instructions

UMBC is offering a limited number of 500 licenses for learners to complete one Google Career Certificate at a time through Coursera. This ensures that as many participants as possible can benefit from the program.

Before enrolling, review the Certificates Page to choose the credential that best aligns with your career goals and availability. Be realistic about your time commitment, as licenses are assigned for a set period based on your selection in the enrollment form.
