A student is eligible to be wait listed only after the course has reached the maximum capacity.

(The X would let the student know how many students are ahead of them on the wait list.) The student would than select “Waitlist” from the drop down function.

Graduation and Commencement are frequently confused terms. Graduation means actually completing and fulfilling your degree requirements resulting in a diploma.

Commencement is the symbolic ceremony marking the closing of your academic career where you receive commendation for your hard work. It is an opportunity for you, your family, friends and the Ramapo College community to celebrate your achievement.
