If you are a credit student who is new to college in the spring 2010 semester (meaning you have not previously successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101 during your first semester at CCBC, thereby increasing the number of credits required for the certificate to 13 credits. PLEASE NOTE: If you are new to college and completed one or more credit courses successfully at CCBC in the fall 2009 semester, you are ENCOURAGED but NOT REQUIRED to take ACDV 101 in the spring 2010 semester.  

Description:

This certificate involves the legal aspects of construction. It introduces the parties involved in contracts, the type of contracts, liabilities, and responsibilities of those entering into a contract. The certificate will cover how specifications and contract documents are developed and how they relate to the construction process. It also addresses how cost control throughout the project works and the claims and changes process affects financial settlement at the end of a construction project.
