It is the responsibility of the student to complete all requirements for graduation by the scheduled dates listed. Each student should consult with the graduate program director of his or her program and with the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School-Camden with respect to the completion of the requirements for graduation. Conferral of degrees and diplomas occurs once a year at the annual spring commencement. However, students who file the applications and complete all other requirements for the degree by the announced October or January dates will have a diploma dated for the respective month, although they will not receive it until the following spring. Students may, therefore, request a temporary certificate (letter) of completion by submitting a written request to the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School-Camden.
