Pre-Senior Worksheet Review Process

Students in the graduating Class of 2025 complete the Pre-Senior Worksheet process in the spring of junior year to ensure that they are making good progress toward graduation in 2025. The purpose of the Pre-Senior Worksheet 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 Pre-Senior Worksheet must be completed with your major advisor and submitted by March 8, 2024, or Fall 2024 registration will be blocked.

Instructions for Completing Your Pre-Senior Worksheet

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 Pre-Senior Worksheet. 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 worksheet 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 2024 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.
