Graduation


Degrees are conferred by the university upon recommendation of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences-Newark and Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark. Degrees are conferred and diplomas issued at the annual commencement each May. A student who completes degree requirements in October or January may request a diploma in December or April, respectively. October and January diplomas may be picked up at the Office of the Registrar.

Diplomas and official transcripts are withheld if a student has a hold against his or her record.

It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that all the graduation requirements of the school, including certification of the major, have been fully met well before the expected date of graduation. Student records are officially closed upon graduation. A graduate cannot improve his or her cumulative grade-point average by completing work or taking additional courses after the degree has been conferred. Inquiries concerning graduation may be directed to an academic adviser at the Rutgers Business School: Newark Undergraduate Program Office, 1 Washington Park, Third Floor, Room 324.

Diploma application forms must be completed and submitted via the Online Diploma Application by candidates for graduation as follows:
