SAP UA Student Recognition Awards

GSU students who complete a minimum of 3 SAP-approved courses are eligible to receive a SAP University Alliances Student Recognition Award (formerly known as the SAP Certificate) signed by the SAP University Alliances (UA) program manager and the Dean of the College of Business Administration.   IS Majors in the Enterprise Resources Planning Emphasis typically receive this award.  The SAP UA Student Recognition Award (SSRA) can also be earned by GSU students who minor in Information Systems. The IS Minor (and SSRA) enhances career options for students interested in working for businesses that use SAP software.   Students majoring in accounting, finance, human resource management, operations management, or logistics are especially likely to benefit from an IS Minor and SAP UA Student Recognition Award.

Students who earn the Recognition Award satisfy the education requirements to enter SAP´s TERP10 certification process. A TERP10 Review Course began in the Fall 2010 semester to assist students in preparing for this valuable certification.
