An evaluation of transfer credit is made only after acceptance, at which time the student is asked to submit a catalog of the institution attended, marked to show the courses taken. No credit is accepted in transfer from any university or college other than Rutgers if the grade earned is below the equivalent of C at Rutgers. Grades from institutions other than Rutgers are not posted to the transcript or included in the Rutgers cumulative grade-point average. Credits accepted in transfer by Douglass College are applied toward general degree requirements. However, the appropriate academic department determines whether or not transfer credit is accepted toward fulfillment of major requirements.
Students who have attended another college or university are required to submit official transcripts from all prior educational institutions by November 1 following fall admission or March 1 following spring admission. Failure to reveal all prior work or to provide official transcripts may be cause for denial of transfer credit, revocation of admission, or withdrawal by the college.
First-year students admitted to Douglass College who have taken college courses at an accredited college prior to enrolling in September may apply for college credit at Douglass if they provide an official transcript to the class dean by November 1 of their first year. Credit may be granted on the same basis as other transfer credits if an official transcript is submitted. Such courses taken at Rutgers University Summer Session before or after graduation from high school but before entrance into Douglass College may be counted for credit toward graduation at Douglass College under the same conditions as for Douglass College students.
Matriculated students may, with prior written approval, receive degree credit for courses at other institutions passed with a grade of C or better. Official transcripts must be received by November 1 for fall-term credit or March 1 for spring-term credit. These credits may not be used to satisfy Douglass College core curriculum requirements.
A maximum of 60 credits of course work acceptable to Douglass College and completed with a grade of C or better at accredited two-year institutions may be transferred to Douglass. No more than 6 credits completed at an accredited two-year institution may be transferred after a student has earned 60 credits toward graduation.
