Generally, NJCU accepts college-level courses (100 level or higher) earned with a minimum grade of a C (2.0) from regionally accredited institutions in the United States.
Courses taken as a pass/fail must be college-level and proven to be equivalent to a C (2.0) or higher on a 4.0 scale.
Transcripts are evaluated course by course.
Blanket credit satisfies the general education program here at NJCU. It is awarded to AA and AS degrees from colleges in the State of New Jersey and Bachelor degrees in the United States. Effective Fall 2019: AA and AS degrees from out-of-state institutions will also be granted blanket credit. Blanket credit does not fulfill courses needed as a prerequisite for major requirements.
NJCU can accept a maximum of 60 credits from two-year schools and 90 combined credits from two-year and four-year schools.
In most cases, this happens when the transcript that was originally submitted to the TRC does not reflect the degree. Don't worry, this is an easy fix. Just request an updated official transcript from your former school be sent to:

The credit transfer process for graduate students is different in that approval is at the discretion of the academic department to which you are admitted; not the Transfer Resource Center. Transfer of graduate credits will only be considered once you: 1) are matriculated in a graduate degree program at NJCU and 2) submit the in its entirety. Once your academic department reviews your request, they will then submit their approval/disapproval of transfer credits to the Transfer Resource Center and you will be notified.
A student may be eligible to take a course or courses outside of the institution while attending NJCU upon approval from the Transfer Resource Center in addition to your Major鈥檚 Department Chair or the Director of General Education. The Transfer Resource Center will confirm 1) if you are eligible for additional transfer credits, 2) if the institution you are requesting to attend is regionally accredited, and 3) if the course you are requesting to take is the correct direct equivalent you are seeking to satisfy. Please see the Request to Enroll for a Course at Another Institution and send it to the Transfer Resource Center with your information.
Request to Enroll For Course(s) at Another Institution
