Graduation

There are three times in the calendar year when SEBS students can graduate:

May Graduation after Spring Semester
August Graduation After Summer Session:
In order for students with August graduation to participate in the May graduation ceremony, they must have 12 or less credits remaining to graduate AND they must sign up to take those credits over the summer. If students register for courses outside of Rutgers, the courses must be pre-approved and students must show proof of registration. Up to 12 of the last 42 credits may be completed outside of Rutgers.
January Graduation After Fall Semester:
Student graduating in January (finishing courses in the fall semester) are eligible to participate in the May graduation ceremony following their graduation. They may not participate in the graduation prior to graduating.

Graduation Honors
