A student's class year is determined by the predicted year and
month of graduation. By default, students are assigned to a class based
on the number of credits they have completed by September 1. Students
are classified according to the number of credits they have completed
by September: first-year students, 0-21 credits; sophomores, 22-53
credits; juniors, 54-83 credits; and seniors, 84-120 credits. It is
assumed that a student intends to graduate after completing the spring
term (graduation month 05) of their class year. Students intending to
graduate after the fall term (graduation month 01) or after the Summer
Session (graduation month 10) must inform the Office of Academic
Services of their intentions prior to the first day of their last term
of registration. Students are not permitted to preregister for the term
after their anticipated graduation date.
Students are reviewed
for graduation eligibility based on their declared class year and
graduation month. Therefore, it is essential that students keep the
Office of Academic Services informed of their anticipated graduation
year and month. Students may reclassify their graduation year and month
by submitting a reclassification request online at https://rutgerscollege.rutgers.edu/reclass.htm or by coming into the Office of Academic Services in Milledoler Hall.
