PLEASE NOTE

Graduation events are two-part: convocation and commencement. Convocation honors and recognizes the individual graduates and the honors earned from the Honors College. The 260th Anniversary Commencement celebrates all members of the Class from Rutgers–New Brunswick and Rutgers Biomedical & Health Sciences at one event. It is at commencement where President Tate will confer the degrees. Learn more.
