To see the list of RIT Kosovo immersions and their requirements for completion please click here: Immersion Requirements. Make sure to check your transcript on SIS after a week to confirm that the declaration went through.

      * It is OPTIONAL for students to declare a minor. If you would like to declare a minor, please schedule a meeting with your advisor. You may fill out the minor authorization form here prior to the meeting and send it to your academic advisor. Class details that are required in the form can be found in SIS or Class Search. To see the list of minors, please click here: RIT Kosovo Minors 

All students need to have successfully completed two co-ops of 400 hours each to be able to graduate. Any delay in the submission of the forms required for co-ops will result in a delay of your graduation. 

If you are transferring in courses, the official transcripts need to be brought in, minimum six months before your graduation date to be certified on time.  

All grades must be recorded, and any outstanding Incomplete (“I”) grades or any change of grades must be resolved before the end of the semester. Any delay can result in a postponement of your certification. All students must have completed RIT Connections with a passing grade.

Students who will be living outside of Kosovo and have a permanent address outside of Kosovo are recommended to change their diploma mailing address on their SIS profile to their permanent address the latest by March 29, 2025. Students who will be living in Kosovo should have the RITK address listed as their mailing address:

RIT K, Gërmia Campus,
Dr. Shpëtim Robaj st. nn 
10000 Prishtina,
Republic of Kosovo

*Diplomas will not be mailed to other addresses within Kosovo, only the RITK address.

Students are responsible for checking their SIS profile and making sure that all the requirements have been fulfilled. To do so go to: SIS > Academic Records > My Academic Requirements - and make sure all requirements are satisfied.

All graduating students are required to return their laptop computers to the IT Office in order to remove the RIT Kosovo (A.U.K.) domain membership and all associated licensed software. As part of this process, the computers will be reinstalled, therefore all data stored on the device will be permanently erased. Please make sure to back up all your files before returning the laptop.

Graduating students will have the opportunity to transfer ownership of the laptop to themselves for a symbolic fee of €1. As part of the transfer process, RIT Kosovo will install Windows 11 and the Microsoft Office Suite.

Please note that returning the laptop is mandatory. Students who fail to return their laptop will not receive their graduation gown and will not be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony.

Note: Students who are allowed to participate in Graduation Day activities but still have remaining courses to complete are not required to return their laptop at this time.

If any of the above-mentioned steps are not finalized by March 27, 2026, it may affect the certification process and will result in the certification being postponed.

We hope that this guideline will bring some clarification to all the concerns that you have all shared regarding the graduation process.

If you have any questions regarding any of this, please reach out to your academic advisor.
