Should I even put Coursera certifications on the common app? I got a certification that was linked with Google (Google IT Support Specialization) and don’t know if I should put it.
Also, if I do, in the honors section, right?
I would put it in activities. I think of honors as awards.

Sounds like an EC to me. It’s not an honor.

but what would the title of the EC be?
How about “Coursera certification in X”

Put the name of the course as a class under EC section. BTW - it’s a nice program… Hope you learned something.
Gotcha. And this goes with other certifications as well right? Do I create a new “activity” for subsequent certifications or can I just put it in one?
And yes, it was really great! I definitely learned a lot haha.
Don’t over think it. Put it under an EC. You have that box with “anything else I want to add” that you can explain if you need to. Since it’s a Google IT cert make it stand out.
The next certification in that series teaches Python if you just did the first one… Depending on what you will be doing in life that could be something to learn now if you have the time… FYI
