THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDENT
HANDBOOK
Welcome to the International Executive Programs (“IEP”) of the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch
College, City University of New York.
The purpose of this Student Handbook is to familiarize you with the academic policies and procedures of IEP.
Please read this carefully so that you know the policies and procedures that affect your progress in the
program.
This Handbook should be used in conjunction with any guidelines and degree requirements that may be
issued from time to time. If you have questions that are not answered in this Handbook please contact
International Executive Programs at iep@baruch.cuny.edu.
On completion of your program you will be conferred a degree from Baruch College of the City

Executive MS in MARKETING (EMSM).
Offered in Singapore and Taipei
Academic Coordinator: Professor Andreas Grein
The Executive MS in Marketing program provides students with the necessary tools to actively
participate in the exciting and competitive world of marketing. It prepares executives for professional

GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
Graduate Program Format: The Executive MS (EMS) programs are full-time programs designed for
cohort groups of working executives. The programs consist of 30 to 36 credits and are typically
comprised of 10 to 12 graduate courses of 3 credits each. Courses are taught monthly (with exceptions
for holidays), with classes meeting over a span of 10 days (Friday to Sunday) for each course.
All EMS programs are normally completed within one year of your start date if you do not defer (skip)
any courses. It is strongly recommended that you complete all courses with your cohort. Should you
defer any courses in your program, you will have to wait until the next cohort is started in order to
complete your program. New cohorts are typically started once a year; however, this is not guaranteed.
Please check with our local representatives for schedules.
Courses: A graduate three-credit course comprises of 36 contact hours of class time, plus additional
time outside of class working on assignments, projects and exams. Students work closely with their
peers and with faculty. Taking the required courses together as a cohort further strengthens the
learning experience. Courses may consist of fewer than 3 credits, with proportionately shorter duration.
Academic Semester: EMS graduate programs typically consist of two academic semesters, Fall (endAugust through December) and Spring (January through May), but may also include one or more courses
in the Summer semester (June-August). A cohort may start in any of these three semesters.
Course Content and Scheduling: Baruch College and Executive Programs reserves the right to amend
course schedules, course sequence and the topics for advanced courses without prior notice.
Receiving Final Grades: Grades are posted on Cunyfirst (see page 18), typically within two months of
the last day of class.
Submission of Final Projects and Assignments: All final assignments and/or projects should be sent to
your professor directly via electronic mail or other means specified by the professor. It is your
responsibility to ensure that your professor has received your assignment(s); therefore, it is advisable to
request a confirmation of receipt.
Academic Advising: Questions regarding academic issues should be addressed to the Program
Specialist, International Executive Programs, at iep@baruch.cuny.edu. These may include, for example:
Withdrawing from the Program
Deferring a Course
Missing a Class
Grade Appeal
Incomplete Course Work
Academic Probation
Student ID Number: Upon acceptance into the EMS program, each student will be issued a Student ID
Number and a Student ID Card. The Student ID Number is considered as your identification number
which will allow you to request transcripts, set up your technology accounts, etc.
All International EMS Student ID Numbers have the format 802-02-XXXX.
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 8
Student ID Card: Once your program starts, Executive Programs will send your Student ID Card to your
local office representative. The purpose of this card is to verify your student status, which may entitle
you to certain benefits in your home country and allow you to access the Baruch Campus in New York
City when you visit it.
Please note that the Number listed on your Student ID
Card is NOT your Student ID Number. This number allows
you to only gain access to Baruch facilities physically
located in New York City, NY.

Academic Policies
Attendance
Attendance policy: Students are expected to attend all classes. If work commitments require you to
miss part of a class, please inform IEP (iep@baruch.cuny.edu) and, if the course has begun, the teaching
faculty member in advance of your absence. Students are permitted to miss no more than 9 hours
(25%) of class time for work-related commitments, subject to the approval of the teaching faculty
member and the IEP office. However, missing any class is not advisable as this may affect your grade.
Making up for missed lectures and assignments is your responsibility and Professors are not required to
make accommodations for you. If you miss more than 25% of the class, you will be withdrawn from the
course and will have to take it again with a future cohort. You will not receive a refund for the course
and will be required to pay for it again, in addition to paying a Deferral Fee for continuing in the
program.
Attendance sheet: It is extremely important that you be in class on time. At the start of each class day
(and again after lunch in the case of a full class day), an attendance sheet will be passed out for your
signature. If you are late or absent, you will be marked absent for that class or part thereof.
Deferring or Dropping a Class
Deferring a class: Once you are admitted to a cohort you are expected to attend all courses with your
cohort. If you wish to defer (skip) a course and take it with the next cohort, you must seek permission
from IEP to do so and indicate your reasons. Be aware that it may not be possible for you to continue
with your cohort if the deferred class is a pre-requisite for classes that follow. IEP will inform you
whether you can continue with your cohort. New cohorts are typically started once a year; however,
this is not guaranteed. You should check with our local representatives for schedules. To defer a
course, you must inform IEP (iep@baruch.cuny.edu) at least seven days before the first class day.
Deferral Fee: You will be charged a Deferral Fee in order to continue with your cohort after deferring a
course. The Deferral Fee is charged for each course that you defer and must be paid before continuing
with your program (contact the local representative for details).
Dropping a class: If you inform IEP of an intended deferral less than seven days before the first class
day, it will be considered a drop since you will have been registered for the course. You will be charged
a Deferral Fee, which is payable before taking the next course. However, you may also be liable for the
tuition, depending on when you drop the class. To get a 100% tuition refund, you must notify IEP by
email at least two days before the first class day.
If you notify IEP less than two days before the first class day, you may be eligible for a partial refund in
accordance with the Refund Policy (see below). The course will be listed on your transcript and will
show a grade of “W”, indicating withdrawal. This grade does not affect your GPA.
If you fail to attend a course, or if you attend less than 75% of the classes for the course, you will be
withdrawn from it and will receive a “W” grade, and you will not receive a refund.
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 10
Refund Policy: Students who withdraw at least 2 days before the first day of class are entitled to 100%
refund of tuition. Those who withdraw no later than the first day of class are entitled to a 75% refund of
the tuition. Those who withdraw on the second day of class are entitled to a 25% refund of the tuition.
Those who withdraw after the second day of class are not entitled to a refund. The date (in local time)
on which you inform IEP of your withdrawal will determine the amount of refund. In all cases a Deferral
Fee must be paid before you can continue with the program.
Grading System
Grading Scale: Baruch uses a 4.0 grade point average (GPA) calculation to determine a student’s
academic standing. Grades for graduate course are indicated as follows:
Grade
A
AB+
B
BC+
C
CF
Quality Value
Per Credit
4.0 grade points
3.7 grade points
3.3 grade points
3.0 grade points
2.7 grade points
2.3 grade points
2.0 grade points
1.7 grade points
0.0 grade points
The grade of F (Fail) is included in the GPA calculations but no credit is awarded for it in the degree, and
the failed course must be repeated in order to graduate. Students who repeat a failed course and earn
a grade of B- or better may petition to drop the grade of F from the computation of the grade point
average; however, the grade of F will remain on the transcript even if not included in the calculation.
Only one F grade may be dropped from the calculation of the grade point average. To replace an F,
please email us (iep@baruch.cuny.edu), indicating the course to which this F replacement will apply,
and we will submit the request on your behalf.
Special grades:
W
(Withdrawal) Withdrawn from the course after it has started; does not affect
the GPA.
INC
(Incomplete) Assigned by the Professor at the request of the student in order
to allow additional time to complete course requirements. The student must
have earned a passing grade in the course based on work completed. Course
requirements must be completed by the end of the subsequent semester (Fall
or Spring), or the INC becomes a FIN, the equivalent of F. Students who
already have one INC grade and get additional INC grades may not continue
with their cohort until the course requirements have been completed and the
INCs replaced.
FIN
(F due to Incomplete) If an INC is not replaced by a grade by the subsequent
semester, the INC automatically becomes a FIN, which is equivalent to an F.
P
(Pass) Applicable for courses taken under the pass/no credit option; currently
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 11
applicable only to capstone courses PSY 99001 and PSY 99002 in the following
programs: EMS in Management of HR and Global Leadership and EMS in
Industrial Organizational Psychology and HRM. Grades of P are not calculated
in the GPA, but credits earned are counted toward the degree.
Important Note: Students who receive an incomplete (INC) in their last semester of their
graduate program must resolve the INC grade (i.e. complete course requirements and have
that grade replaced) within that final semester in order to graduate. In addition, if an INC grade
is not resolved within the last semester of the graduate program, a student will be required to
pay a Matriculation Fee (see below).
Maintenance of Matriculation: Students must maintain matriculated status during the semester in
which they obtain their degree if they are not registered for any courses. To maintain matriculation
status, the student will be required to pay a Maintenance of Matriculation Fee (currently USD 190 per
semester) to have their record activated in order to file for graduation. The Fee must be paid directly to
Baruch College via money order or check drawn on a US bank, payable to “Baruch College”. The fee is
subject to change without notice.
Calculating Your Grade Point Average (GPA): The following illustration shows how a student who has
attempted 27 credits (9 courses) should compute his/her grade point average.

Maintaining Your GPA: All graduate students must have a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher in
order to graduate and receive the Master’s degree from Baruch College.
Academic Probation and Dismissal: Students are placed on academic probation if their grade point
average (GPA) falls below 3.0 after the completion of 9 credits (equivalent to 3 courses). A student who
has been placed on academic probation must raise his/her cumulative GPA to 3.0 or higher after
completing an additional 12 credits, and if not, he/she will be dismissed from the program.
Students who are dismissed may appeal for reinstatement in the program and permission to take
additional credits in order to raise their GPA (see Dean’s Credits below) to the Graduate Committee on
Academic Standing (GCAS). The Appeal Form can be obtained from us or downloaded from:
http://zicklin.baruch.cuny.edu/ogs/gas/forms/appeal-gcas/appeal.pdf. It should be filled out and
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 12
emailed to us (iep@baruch.cuny.edu), and we will submit the appeal to the GCAS on the student’s
behalf. The committee decision will be sent to the student directly.
Grade Review and Appeals: Students are entitled to an explanation of how their course grade was
determined. Any questions about the grade or requests for change in assessment must be addressed to
the Professor teaching the class. Neither IEP nor the Academic Coordinator of the program has any
authority to make grade changes; only the Professor may do so.
If a student believes a grade has been awarded incorrectly or unfairly, and if the Professor has
determined that the grade should not be changed, the student may contact the Academic Coordinator
of the program, the Chair of the appropriate academic department, or the Baruch College Ombudsman
for advice (see the Baruch College website for contact information). However, none of these individuals
can change the student’s grade. Only the professor may change a student’s grade.
Dean’s Credits: students who fail to achieve a 3.0 GPA on completion of their program may appeal to
the GCAS to be reinstated in the program and take up to 6 additional credits (equivalent to 2 courses),
known as Dean’s Credits, with a future cohort in order to raise their GPA to the 3.0 minimum required
for graduation. Appeals must be submitted on the GCAS Appeal form, which can be obtained from us or
downloaded from: http://zicklin.baruch.cuny.edu/ogs/gas/forms/appeal-gcas/appeal.pdf. The Appeal
should be sent to us to submit on the student’s behalf. The GCAS will consider granting the appeal
based on the likelihood that the student will achieve the minimum 3.0 GPA required with the additional
credits.
Accessing Your Grades: You will be able to view your grades and print unofficial transcripts online via
CUNYfirst through the CUNY portal (http://www.cuny.edu/portal-login.html) once you have set up your
username and password. For more information on how to set up your account, please go the
Technology section on Page 16.
Official Transcripts: Students may request an official transcript any time during their program of study
from Baruch College. Download the request form from:
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/registrar/documents/TranscriptRequestForm.TEST_000.pdf
Please fill it out, sign it and send it to us with your payment so we may submit it on your behalf.
Each official copy of the transcript requested costs USD 7.00. Payment may be made either via money
order or check drawn on a US bank, payable to “Baruch College”. The fee is subject to change without
notice.
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 13
Student Course Evaluations
All students will have the opportunity to evaluate and provide feedback for each of their courses and
professors.
Mid-Course Evaluations: An online mid-course evaluation will be sent directly to all students by email
after the first half of each course has been completed. The purpose of the mid-course evaluation is to
assess the effectiveness of the course at an early stage so that the Professor can make mid-course
corrections if necessary. It is important that all students complete the evaluation immediately on
receipt.
End-Course Evaluations: At the end of each course, a paper course evaluation form will be distributed to
the students to complete. To ensure the anonymity of the evaluations, the Professor will not be present
in the room. A designated student representative will be asked to collect the evaluations when they are
completed, place them in an envelope, seal the envelope and sign his/her name on the seal to ensure
confidentiality. The sealed envelope with the evaluations should be handed to the Professor for delivery
to the IEP office in New York.
Both mid-course and end-course evaluations are anonymous.
The Professor will not receive the results of the end-course evaluations until the grades have been
submitted to Baruch College.
Graduation
Applying for graduation requires planning in advance. To ensure that you will graduate on time, read the
information provided below carefully, adhere to the deadlines and contact IEP if you have any questions
or concerns.
Applying for Graduation: Graduation is NOT automatic. In your final semester of courses, students
must submit an “Application for Graduation” by the deadlines listed below. Filing for graduation is your
responsibility. It is the student’s responsibility to complete and submit the “Application for
Graduation” (Appendix B) in a timely manner.
Deadlines: Baruch CUNY degrees are conferred three times a year. For each graduation date,
coursework must be completed and the application for graduation received by the dates specified
below:
Conferred
Deadline for Completion of EMS Program
Graduation Date
June 1
Complete all courses by April 30
September 1
Complete all courses by July 31
February 1
Complete all courses by December 31
Deadline for Submission of
Application for Graduation
February 25
February 25
October 27
EXAMPLE: Mr. Yang will complete his last course on August 7th, therefore, he must submit his
application for graduation by October 27th and his degree will reflect the conferred date of February 1st.
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 14
Degree Audits: Executive Programs and The Baruch College Registrar conduct a degree audit of all
student records to ensure the requirements of graduation have been met prior to the submission of
applications for graduation. Students and the local representative will be notified via email if the student
is not eligible to graduate in that specific semester.
If a student receives an email from IEP stating that they have not met graduation requirements, the
student must reapply and file a NEW graduation application the following semester. The OLD
application will be considered "Non-Transferable" by Baruch College.
Graduation Requirements: All students must fulfill the following requirements in order to be
considered as eligible for graduation:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
A minimum GPA of 3.0
Completion of all required credits (30 to 36 credits for Executive MS programs)
Resolution of all INC grades and receipt of final grades
Completion and submission of the “Application of Graduation to Executive Programs”
Satisfaction of all financial obligations with the local representatives
Completing the Graduation Application: The name on the diploma MUST be an exact match to the
application submitted earlier for admission.
As we are a U.S. educational institution, you need to enter your LAST NAME, FIRST NAME and MIDDLE
NAME as stated in the form; this must be the same as in the application submitted for admission
because that is the name entered in the data system. This name cannot be changed unless a recent
marriage, divorce or legal name change has taken place. If so, submit a copy of your marriage license,
divorce notice or an official document showing the name change with a “Change of Name Form”. This
can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/registrar/documents/changeofnameandSS.doc
Adherence to this policy is extremely important so we can ensure students will graduate in a timely
manner without a delay in the processing of the graduate diploma degree from Baruch College.
Submitting the Graduation Application: The Application for Graduation should be sent directly to
iep@baruch.cuny.edu. All students should receive a confirmation email from us acknowledging receipt.
If you have not received a confirmation from us after 5 business days, resend the application.
Executive Programs will provide the local representative office with a list of the status of all applicants
regarding their eligibility to graduate one month after the deadline.
Local Graduation Ceremony: Some local representative offices hold an annual graduation ceremony
on-site for you and your family. For more information, please check with the local representative for
your program.
New York Commencement Ceremony and IEP Reception: Baruch College holds one graduation
ceremony every year, usually the last week in May or first week in June, for February, June and
September graduates. All students and their families are invited to join the Baruch Commencement
celebration (subject to the limit on the number of guests allowed per student).
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 15
For students who choose to come to New York for Commencement, IEP hosts a reception for our
students and arranges for a company visit.
Invitation Letters to Attend the Ceremony: All international EMS students may request a letter of
invitation from Baruch College to apply for a visa to the United States. On request, we will email a PDF
version of the letter of invitation.
Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society: Beta Gamma Sigma is the honor society accredited by the
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business - International (AACSB). AACSB International, a
group of 1400 educational institutions offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in business and
management, allows only a select 400 institutions to have Beta Gamma Sigma Chapters. The Beta
Gamma Sigma mission is to honor academic achievement in the study of business, to encourage the
pursuit of excellence, and to foster a commitment to service in one’s personal and professional life.
Election to Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest academic honor that a student of business can achieve. To
be eligible for membership, the academic ranking of those being considered must place them in the top
20 percent of the graduating class.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Admissions
What if I am accepted and I choose to defer my admission?
Your acceptance is valid for a period of two years, so you may choose to start with a scheduled cohort
during that time. However, after two years you will need to submit a fresh application for admission,
with an updated resume and current recommendation letters.
May I change my program once I have been admitted?
Yes, subject to your acceptance in the new program. Note that every program has different required
courses and credits are not transferable between programs. Your application will be submitted for
review and approval for transfer. Please inform Executive Programs and the local representative about
your intentions as soon as possible. Admission into one program does not guarantee admission into
another.
Attendance
Can I skip some classes due to conflicts with my work schedule?
Attendance is required. If work commitments require you to miss part of a class, please inform IEP
(iep@baruch.cuny.edu) and, if the course has begun, the teaching faculty member in advance of your
absence. Students are permitted to miss no more than 9 hours (25%) of class time for work-related
commitments, subject to the approval of the teaching faculty member and the IEP office. If you miss
more than 25% of the class, you will be withdrawn from the course and will have to take it again with a
future cohort. You will not receive a refund for the tuition, and in addition will be charged a Deferral
Fee, which must be paid before continuing with the program.
Can I postpone taking a course in my cohort?
Postponing course(s) will result in a delay in your graduation, since you will have to wait until that
course is offered again. If you have to defer (postpone) a course, you must seek permission from IEP to
do so and indicate your reasons. Be aware that it may not be possible for you to continue with your
cohort if the deferred class is a pre-requisite for classes that follow. IEP will inform you whether you can
continue with your cohort. To defer a course, you must inform IEP (iep@baruch.cuny.edu) at least
seven days before the first class day. You will be charged a Deferral Fee for each deferred course.
Technology
How do I get access to my course information?
The CUNY Portal allows you to gain access to all Baruch resources, including Blackboard (a Learning
Management System used to support teaching at Baruch), CUNYfirst (the student center) and related
resources at Baruch. For more details, please see Page 16.
What is CUNYfirst?
CUNYfirst is Baruch’s official student center. You may view and/or print an unofficial transcript of your
grades at any time from this center. For more details, please see page 18.
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 25
What is my Baruch username?
Your Baruch username is the first initial of your first name, first initial of your last name followed by a
series of numbers. It is used to set up your email account and access library resources. To access your
Baruch username, please go to this link:
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/bctc/username/BaruchUsername.htm
What is my student ID Number?
All students will be assigned a student ID Number starting with 802-02-xxxx. The Student ID Number is in
lieu of the U.S. Social Security number which will allow students to request official transcripts, set-up
technology accounts, apply for graduation, etc.
* Please note that the ID Number on your student ID card is not your student ID Number!
What if I am a U.S. citizen and have a Social Security Number (SSN)—can I use my SSN instead of the
Baruch ID number issued?
Yes, please notify Executive Programs via email and we will make the necessary changes in your student
file.
How do I access the library resources from off-campus?
You need to use your Baruch username and password to access the library. Please see Page 17 for
information about remote access.
How do I check my Baruch E-mail?
To access your e-mail account, please go to http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/bctc/baruchmail/. See Page
18.
What is Blackboard?
Blackboard is an online Learning Management System that provides off-campus access to course
materials, assignments and class discussions.
How do I login to Blackboard?
Login to Blackboard requires a CUNY Portal Account. See Page 19.
How do I change my email address on Blackboard?
You will be able to change your email address on Blackboard.
I am registered for classes but the courses do not appear under "My Courses." Why?
Your problem is likely due to one of the following:
 Your Professor is not using Blackboard for his/her course.
 Your Professor is using Blackboard but has not set the course as “available” on Blackboard.
Please check with the Professor.
 Your Professor has set the course as “available” but you joined the cohort recently and your
registration information has not yet been added to Blackboard. It can take up to 72 hours
for the Blackboard system to be updated from the registration information.
 If none of the above seems to be applicable, please contact IEP and we will look into the
problem.
I am sure that my course is on Blackboard but I still cannot log on. What should I do?
Please contact IEP.
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 26
I can log on, but why don’t I see all the courses I am enrolled in?
Being enrolled in a course does not necessarily mean that the course is on Blackboard. Of all the
courses that you are enrolled in, you will see only those that are made available on Blackboard by the
faculty.
Grades
How do I view my grades?
If the instructor chooses to make grades available on Blackboard, you can see them in your Grade
Center on Blackboard. However, these are not official grades. To view the official grades, go to the
CUNY Portal at http://cuny.edu/portal-login.html and login.
What is a Grade Point Average (GPA)?
Your GPA is the average of grades earned in your program. Baruch uses a 0 to 4 grade point scale
calculation to determine a student’s academic standing. See Page 12 for an example of how the GPA is
calculated.
What is the minimum GPA in order to graduate?
You must have a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 in order to graduate.
What if I cannot complete the course requirements in time due to work-related travel or a medical
emergency?
It is strongly recommended that you complete all assignments, papers and exams for each course as
required by the Professor. If for some reason that becomes impossible, you may request the Professor
to give you an INC (Incomplete) grade. You may only receive the INC if the work you have already
completed for the course will earn you a passing grade. You must specifically request the grade; it is not
given automatically if you fail to show up for an exam or submit an assignment in time.
If I receive an Incomplete (INC) in my course, when do I have to complete all course work before it
turns into a FIN?
Grades of incomplete (INC) received in the Fall semester must be resolved by the end of the following
Spring semester. Grades of incomplete (INC) received in the Spring semester or Summer semester must
be resolved by the end of the following Fall semester.
What if I do not complete my INC by the required time frame?
The INC will convert to a failing grade (shown as FIN on your transcript). This is the same as earning an F
in and will affect your GPA.
What if I already have one INC grade and I get additional INC grades?
You are not permitted to have more than one INC at a time. If you get additional INCs you will be
required to withdraw from the cohort until the INC grades are resolved. This means you will have to
defer some classes and make them up with the next scheduled cohort. You will be charged a Deferral
Fee for each such deferred class.
What if I receive an Incomplete (INC) in my final semester, will I be able to graduate?
If you receive an INC in your final semester of coursework, you must complete the course work before
the end of the semester in order to graduate on time.
International Executive Programs Student Handbook
Updated on 9 July 2014 - Page 27
What if I receive an Incomplete (INC) in my final semester and am unable to complete the necessary
course work by the end of that semester?
If you are unable to complete the course work by the end of their final semester and submit the
coursework in the next semester, you will be required to pay a matriculation fee (see Page 12) to Baruch
College in order to graduate.
Transcripts
How do I request an official transcript?
You may fill out a transcript request in hard copy from the following link:
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/registrar/documents/TranscriptRequestForm.TEST_000.pdf
Please fill it out, sign it and send it to us with your payment so we may submit it on your behalf.
Is the official transcript free?
The current Baruch policy is that, upon completing the graduate program, all International graduate
students will receive one free copy of their official transcript with their degree scroll. However, if you
need an official transcript to be sent to another educational institution or before the issuance of the
degree scroll, Baruch College charges a USD 7.00 fee which can be paid via money order or in the form
of a check drawn on a US bank made out to “Baruch College”. The fee is subject to change without
notice.

email from Executive Programs acknowledging receipt. We will review and verify eligibility for
graduation and inform the local representative office.

Please notify us as soon as possible so as we can inform the appropriate departments. However, if it is
too late to submit the application for the desired graduation date, you may have to pay a maintenance
of matriculation fee (see Page 12), and graduation will take place in the following semester.

receive the certificate at the on-site ceremony.

scroll and official transcript, which may take up to three months. Upon receipt of the official documents,
Executive Programs will courier them to the local representative office where you may collect them.
