Am I elegible to renew my EAD?
Hi, I graduated from college in december, I filed for an EAD based on my F-1 student visa and got approval a few weeks later, I was wondering if I am able to renew my EAD, and if so what else do I need besides applying with 120 in advance
thank you!

You can't renew your OPT unless you fall under STEM. Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
If you do fall under those four categories, your 12 month OPT can be extended another 17 months. You really need to get your Employer to sponsor for your H1-B visa. That is immigrant working visa good for 3 years. Max 6 years.
You can't keep renewing it if you're not a student. You can renew it for your practical training period, if you're working in your area of study. If you don't know what you're doing, talk to your college's foreign student representative, or consult an immigration attorney.
if you graduated ..the course is done you go home
