University College will grant requests for the posthumous awarding of degrees to students (in the unfortunate event of the death of a student) during a term in which the student was enrolled at Rutgers University as a senior in good standing.
To be eligible, a student must have completed at least 24 credits at University College, achieved senior status in good standing, and be enrolled at University College with a graduating grade-point average of 2.0 or better. Request for a post-obitum award of the degree must be submitted in writing by a family member of the student to the dean of University College.
