Graduation Requirements

This is your last semester at RIT Kosovo and we wanted to make sure that you are fully prepared for your graduation. Below you will see a checklist that you may go through to make sure you have completed all requirements. You can also find the graduation requirements on the Academic Bulletin. You are strongly advised to consult with your Academic Advisor to make sure that you are on the right track.
All students who want to walk in Graduation Commencement Ceremony need to complete the steps below. 

Bulletin: Academic Bulletin - 2022 - 2023

Forms: Academic Forms | RIT Kosovo | RIT

Co-op: Arlinda Hajdari - ahajdari@auk.org

Academic calendar: Academic Calendar | RIT Kosovo | RIT

Certification calendar: view calendar

 Certification process: any delay in the above-mentioned steps will result in certification postponement by a semester.

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 Requirement - and make sure all requirements are satisfied (collapsed). If any of the above-mentioned are not finalized by March 30, 2023, this may affect your graduation.

 

ALL students need to apply for graduation!  You need to apply online via SIS. To apply go to SIS> Academic Records > Graduation > Apply for Graduation> Spring 2023 (2225). Make sure to print screen the page once you have completed this step and save it for your records

ALL students need to declare their immersion! You need to declare it online via your SIS profile. Make sure to check your transcript or SIS after a week to confirm that the declaration went through.

a.      All students need to declare an immersion in either Economics, English, International Relations, Political Science, or Public Policy.

b.      If you are graduating with a minor, you must declare the same immersion as your minor (i.e. minor in public policy, you declare your immersion in public policy).

c.       If you are graduating without a minor, you need to only declare the immersion you have selected.

d.      If you have declared your immersion wrongfully, then you should change it online via your SIS profile.

Students planning to graduate with a minor are required to fill in a ‘Minor Authorization Form’. See guidelines here.  Class details that are required in the form can be found in the SIS or SIS Class Search

a.      Students graduating in May 2023 (2225) need to bring in the form by March 30, 2023, the latest. Forms brought in later run the risk of negatively affecting your certification.

Applied Arts and Sciences: You need to earn a minimum of 120 credits in order to be eligible for graduation.

CIT: You need to earn a minimum of 126 credits in order to be eligible for graduation.

This does not mean that as soon as you earn 120 credits or 126 credits respectively, you will graduate, as they have to be earned towards your academic program.

Successful candidates for an undergraduate degree must have a program cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0, specifically a minimum GPA of 2.0 in each of the Professional Core Concentrations is required. The Minor GPA must also be at least 2.0 in order to be certified. Graduation honors are conferred on those who achieve a 3.40 or higher program cumulative GPA.

You need to complete the required courses within your selected Sub-plan (i.e. Management students must complete PROF 206 – Managing the Workforce, ACCT 110 – Financial Accounting and ACCT 210 – Management Accounting to graduate). You need to earn a minimum of 20 semester credits for each concentration. You need to earn a GPA of 2.0 and above within your concentrations.(Academic Bulletin)

You need to complete the required courses within your selected minor (i.e. one cannot graduate with a minor in international relations without finishing POLS 120 - Introduction to International Relations). You need to earn a minimum of 15 credits. You need to earn a GPA of 2.0 and above within your minor.

By the end of your senior year, you need to have successfully completed two co-ops of 400 hours each. Any delay in the submission of the forms or co-ops registered in the summer will result in a delay of your graduation.

The course, SOIS 510 - Multidisciplinary Life is a mandatory course for the students. Students must enroll in SOIS 510 - Multidisciplinary Life in their final academic year. Students taking the honors capstone are exempt from taking the senior capstone.

If you are transferring in courses, the official transcripts need to be brought in, minimum six months before your graduation date, if you want to be certified on time. Note that the transcripts need to be sealed in an envelope in order to be accepted.

All grades must be recorded and any outstanding Incomplete (“I”) grades or any change of grades must be resolved before the end of the term. Any delay can result in a postponement of your certification.

A minimum of 30 credit hours shall be successfully completed in residence at the university in the college granting the degree (inclusive of service courses). If the student has successfully completed 30 credit hours in residence, a petition may be submitted to the dean to study 10 credit hours in absentia in the final year of the degree; at a minimum, 20 of the final 30 credit hours are to be completed in residence.

The commencement day will be held in May (more information will be provided throughout the spring semester). Please see the bulletin for the policy on graduation/commencement ceremony (Academic Bulletin).
