Transfer Students
Admission for Full-Time and Part-Time Transfers
Each year, New Jersey City University accepts a number of students for
transfer from other two-year and four-year institutions. Students
interested in full-time or part-time transfer to New Jersey City
University should file their application by April 1 for the Fall
Semester and November 1 for the Spring Semester. These dates are subject
to extension at the discretion of the Admissions Office.
Full-time and part-time transfer students are required to present the
following credentials when they apply for admission to NJCU:
1) Official transcripts from each institution previously attended with
cumulative grade point average. Transfer applicants submitting less than
12 semester hours of acceptable credits are required to submit an
official high school transcript along with scores from the SAT I.
2) Nurses applying for admission to degree study must submit a
transcript(s) of their nursing school record and/or of their study at
any other college.
The only exception to this are credits earned elsewhere at the time of
NJCU application. For these, a student must submit a final official
transcript no later than October 15 for Fall applicants and February 28
for Spring applicants.
The transcripts of students admitted to New Jersey City University as
transfer students from other institutions, either for full-time or
part-time study, will be evaluated by the University Advisement Center
for application toward the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
degree. Transfer credits will be granted for courses carrying a letter
grade of "C" or better and applicable to the student's degree
requirements.
Graduates from accredited New Jersey community or four-year colleges,
with an A.A. or A.S. degree, and who have earned a cumulative grade
point average (CGPA) of at least 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) will be able to
transfer a block of credits, thereby satisfying the University's general
studies requirements including the All University Requirements (AUR).
All degree credits completed toward the associate degree will count
toward the requirements for a bachelor's degree at New Jersey City
University.
A.A. and A.S. students who transfer to NJCU from an accredited college
outside of New Jersey will have their transcripts evaluated on a
course-by-course basis. In order to receive transfer credits, courses
are required to meet all the following stipulations: courses must
correspond to NJCU course equivalencies; courses must carry a letter
grade of "C" or better, or a numerical grade of 2.0 on a scale of 4.0;
and a maximum of 66 credits is transferable.
A copy of the Transfer Credit Evaluation Form will be forwarded to the
student after admission. For transfer credits from other institutions
enrolled in after the student's enrollment at New Jersey City
University, the following rules will apply:
a) Credits earned the semester prior to the semester of the student's
graduation must be presented for evaluation within four weeks of the
availability of the grades and scores to the student.
b) In cases where credits earned during the semester in which the
student plans to graduate are not available for evaluation in time for
that semester's graduation, receipt of the diploma will be delayed until
the credits are evaluated.
Appeals regarding the implementation of the above policies are to be
addressed to the appropriate academic dean.
After the student has filed the Application for Major Program with the
University Advisement Center, any additional college credit on the
student's transcript(s) that requires the judgment of his/her major
department will be referred to that department for evaluation of its
applicability to his/her degree requirements.
Transfer applicants for teacher certification programs will ordinarily
be ineligible to undertake a field internship in their first semester at
the University. Students should seek departmental advisement regarding
Junior and Senior Field Experience immediately after acceptance to the
College. |
