You do not have to wait for the course to issue\n+certificates. You can usually find out if a course offers student-generated\n+certificates on the course About page.\n \n+If a course offers student-generated certificates, as soon as you have\n+qualified for a certificate, you see the following message at the top of the\n+course **Progress** page.\n+\n+``Congratulations, you have qualified for a certificate! You can keep working\n+for a higher grade, or request your certificate now.``\n+\n+You can request your certificate at any time after you have qualified for the\n+certificate. \n+\n+.. note:: If you request your certificate before the end of the course, \n+ the grade that you see on your **Progress** page no longer updates\n+ automatically as you complete coursework. However, the system continues to\n+ update your grade in the background. To update your grade on the **Progress**\n+ page, request your certificate again.\n+\n+.. note:: Your course grade does not appear on your certificate.\n+\n+Request and Download a Certificate\n+====================================\n+\n+* To request your certificate at any time after you have qualified for the\n+  certificate, select **Request Certificate** on the course **Progress** page.\n+\n+After your certificate has been created, you see a \"Your certificate is\n+available\" message on the **Progress** page, and you can download your\n+certificate from the **Progress** page or from your dashboard.\n+\n+* To download your certificate from the **Progress** page, select **Download\n+  Your Certificate** in the upper right corner of the page.\n+\n+* To download your certificate from your dashboard, select **Download Your\n+  Certificate** next to the name of your course.","path":"en_us/students/source/SFD_certificates.rst","position":90,"original_position":88,"commit_id":"3ecdac64ffccf020d1d3170959bc116740a7e18e","original_commit_id":"aa5aac4f22262f09fe716b4c2a6674ffa46e5f5b","user":{"login":"wedaly","id":2948394,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2948394?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly","html_url":"https://github.com/wedaly","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wedaly/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"body":"@srpearce That feature hasn't been merged yet: https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/7811\r\n\r\nIn that PR, the button is called \"Regenerate Certificate\", but I agree that \"Update Certificate\" is more user-friendly.","created_at":"2015-04-27T19:02:25Z","updated_at":"2015-04-27T19:02:25Z","html_url":"https://github.com/edx/edx-documentation/pull/288#discussion_r29179083","pull_request_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/edx/edx-documentation/pulls/288","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.github.com/repos/edx/edx-documentation/pulls/comments/29179083"},"html":{"href":"https://github.com/edx/edx-documentation/pull/288#discussion_r29179083"},"pull_request":{"href":"https://api.github.com/repos/edx/edx-documentation/pulls/288"}}},"pull_request":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/edx/edx-documentation/pulls/288","id":33061393,"html_url":"https://github.com/edx/edx-documentation/pull/288","diff_url":"https://github.com/edx/edx-documentation/pull/288.diff","patch_url":"https://github.com/edx/edx-documentation/pull/288.patch","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/edx/edx-documentation/issues/288","number":288,"state":"open","locked":false,"title":"Documentation for student-generated certificates","user":{"login":"srpearce","id":3493253,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3493253?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce","html_url":"https://github.com/srpearce","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srpearce/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"body":"@wedaly and @griffresch, can you look over this documentation and let me know if it's technically accurate?
