SEBS Junior Graduation Review

Students in the graduating Class of 2027 complete the Junior Graduation Review process in the spring of junior year to ensure that they are making good progress toward graduation in 2027. The purpose of the Junior Graduation Review is to have the student and their major advisor discuss their progress, create a plan for senior year classes, and confirm that all degree information is accurately displaying in Degree Navigator.

The Junior Graduation Review must be completed with your major advisor and submitted by March 12, 2026, or Fall 2026 registration will be blocked.

Instructions for Completing Your Junior Graduation Review

1. Review your Rutgers transcript and use Rutgers Degree Navigator to check your requirements. Make sure you access your combined program in Degree Navigator in the portion that lists "All (or Final) Degree Requirements". Review Instructions for using Degree Navigator.
2. Check carefully that DN accurately reflects your remaining coursework. Any course substitutions or waivers that do not show up on DN must be listed on the Junior Graduation Review. Change any inaccurate majors/minors/options at MyMajor.sebs.rutgers.edu.
3. Meet with your major advisor to review your progress and the worksheet. Ask questions about your remaining requirements and graduation planning. Your advisor will submit your review online, noting any issues for the major or SEBS Core. Find contact information for your advisor here.
4. Any adjustments to Degree Navigator will be updated prior to Fall 2026 registration.
5. If you have any additional questions, particularly about your Core requirements or degree credits for graduation, please make an appointment with an Academic Programs advisor via phone (848-932-3000, ext. 2) online chat, or email (seniors@sebs.rutgers.edu).

This process is critical to ensure a smooth senior year and graduation. It is your responsibility to make sure that courses you intend to take will be offered and will fill your requirements.
