Policies and Eligibility
— Honor Code Policies —
Though we do not expect that participants will always be able to provide a correct response to every question, you are expected to answer in your own words and to the best of your ability, which is an essential component of the HBS Online learning process. Skipping questions by providing insufficient responses such as Yes, Okay, or other one-word responses is considered incomplete participation. Citations are expected to be applied to your responses whenever you include outside information that is not from your personal knowledge, such as a website or Generative AI. This includes facts, statistics, definitions, and company information such as descriptions, earnings, and accounts. Please review the HBS Citation Guide for assistance with citing your sources. Improper citations or unauthorized use of Generative AI are considered a violation of the HBS Online Honor Code and are strictly prohibited. For more information regarding responses, properly cited sources, and acceptable Generative AI use, please consult the Academic Honesty Guidelines page.
— Active Engagement —
We expect you to engage with your peers to uphold the social components of the program. Throughout the courses you may comment on other participants' postings, post to Peer Help to ask questions, and engage with your peers' posts. To foster a supportive online learning environment, you must uphold the HBS Online Community Values throughout the Credential of Digital Innovation and Strategy.
— Credential Eligibility —
Credential eligibility is determined within 30 days of the required final deadline of the program. Successful completion of the Credential of Digital Innovation and Strategy program will result in the issuance of the Credential of Digital Innovation and Strategy, as well as individual certificates for each of the program’s courses—Digital Thinking and Innovation, Winning with Digital Platforms, and Digital Marketing Strategy. Certificates are available in digital and printed format. All printed certificates are shipped via United States Postal Service First Class Mail and may take up to eight weeks to arrive once dispatched; shipment tracking is not available. Please visit our Certificate Guidelines page for a detailed overview of the certificate process, and our Certificates, Credentials & Credits page to see what your certificate will look like. |
