Graduation and Commencement are often confused for one another. At Ramapo College, Graduation is the completion of all degree requirements as certified and recorded on the official transcript. Students graduate (degrees are conferred) three times per year, at the conclusion of the Spring, Summer and Fall semesters. Commencement is the ceremony that celebrates the completion (or anticipated completion) of your degree. Commencement ceremonies take place at the conclusion of the Spring semester only, and all January graduates and June and August graduation candidates from that year are invited to participate. These ceremonies mark the conclusion of your academic career; a time for the Ramapo College community, along with your family and friends, to celebrate you. Participation in the Commencement ceremony does not guarantee graduation.
Requirements
Note: The last 32 credits must be taken at Ramapo. Therefore, once a student reaches 96 credits, he/she may no longer take courses off campus.
If, you decide to postpone your graduation or you are requesting a grade change, please e-mail grad@ramapo.edu.
NO CHANGES OF ANY KIND MAY BE MADE TO YOUR ACADEMIC RECORD ONCE YOU HAVE GRADUATED.

There are two Commencement Ceremonies (undergraduate and graduate) in May and degrees are conferred on June 20th, August 30th, and January 30th each year. Degree candidates will receive final email notification regarding the status of their degree conferral on or about these dates.
Commencement Ceremonies (one for Undergraduates and one for Graduate Students) traditionally take place at the conclusion of the Spring semester only, and all January graduates and June and August graduation candidates from that year are invited to participate.
