No, unless the case is for a 5-Year Review action.

It is UCLA’s policy that cases cannot be sent forward for department review until the candidate has completed the certification process.

However, cases for 5-Year Review actions may be advanced without the candidate’s certification. The caveat here is that the department must upload proof, to the case packet/dossier, that they have attempted to contact the candidate for certification. If you have a question on this topic, please email opushelp@ucla.edu.
