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 director of his or her program and with the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School-Newark with respect to the completion of the requirements for graduation.
Conferral of degrees and diplomas occurs three times each year, in January, May, and October. Commencement / graduation occurs once a year each May. Students who file diploma applications and complete all other requirements for the degree by the announced degree deadlines will receive a diploma dated for the next applicable degree conferral date.
To provide proof that they have earned a degree before receiving the physical diploma, students may submit a request, in writing, for an Interim Certificate from the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School-Newark. Such requests take up to 21 days to process.
The school withholds diplomas from any student who is under financial obligation to the university.
