Graduation


Degrees are conferred upon recommendation of the Mason Gross School of the Arts faculty. A candidate entering the final semester of their program should submit a diploma application to the graduate registrar and an application for admission to candidacy to the dean's office. This can be completed online at https://www.ugadmissions.rutgers.edu/diploma.

Degrees at Mason Gross are conferred and diplomas are issued fall (January), spring (May), and summer (August). However, there is only one commencement ceremony held each spring. M.F.A. or M.M. students graduating in August and requiring only 6 or less credits to complete the degree requirements may participate in that year's spring ceremony. If more than 6 credits are required to complete the degree requirements, the M.F.A. or M.M. students will be eligible to participate in the following year's spring ceremony. D.M.A. students with any outstanding requirements will be ineligible to participate until the following year's spring ceremony.

Diplomas are withheld from all students having unpaid financial or library accounts or other outstanding obligations to the university.

The graduate diploma application must be completed and submitted online by the candidate. This must be done according to the deadlines on the Scarlet Hub graduation and diploma information webpage at https://scarlethub.rutgers.edu/registrar/graduation-and-diploma-information. Unless the application is filed by the appropriate date, the degree will not be conferred and graduation will be delayed.

If, after filing the application for a diploma, a candidate is unable to complete the degree requirements by the end of the semester specified, another application must be filed.
