Graduation FAQs
Q: How do I apply to graduate?
A: Graduation applications are open on Self-Service Banner for a brief period at the beginning of each semester. You should apply during the semester you expect to complete all requirements for your program(s) (including minors, concentrations, etc.). In Self-Service, select “Apply to Graduate,” and follow the instructions to complete your application.
Q: When will I receive my diploma?
A: Each term, degree conferral occurs 4-6 weeks after final semester grades are posted. Diplomas are printed and mailed after the degree conferral process is complete. The Graduation Information Sheet provides an estimated diploma delivery date for each term.
Q: How do I apply for certificate completion?
A: If you’ve completed a certificate/endorsement program (CUGS, COGS, GE, etc.), you should fill out a Certificate Completion Processing Form and submit it to our office so we can update your transcript to show that you’ve completed your program. A program advisor/coordinator’s signature is required, and there is an option to order a printed certificate. ***This is separate from NJ teacher certification, which is handled through the College of Education.
