Expository Writing


Once admitted to Rutgers University-New Brunswick, all first-year and transfer students without equivalent transfer credit are required to complete Expository Writing (01:355:101) at the New Brunswick campus. Students may receive Expository Writing Credit prior to enrollment if they meet any of the following requirements:

EXPOS CREDIT THROUGH DUAL ENROLLMENT - The Writing Program will accept dual enrollment credits earned in partnership between a New Jersey High School and NJ Community Colleges or other New Jersey state universities/colleges (in courses listed as equivalent to 01:355:101 in NJ Transfer) as equivalent to 01:355:101. This policy does not apply to Dual Enrollment with other private schools (e.g., Seton Hall, FDU, or Syracuse). Credit may not be transferred in from a course taken during high school at another college or university that is not a New Jersey Community College or a New Jersey state college or university, even if taken through a dual enrollment program at that school. Additionally, it does not apply to incoming first-year students looking to take a writing course between their senior year of high school and matriculation at Rutgers (this includes summer).

EXPOS CREDIT FOR NJ COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER STUDENTS - Students transferring from a New Jersey Community College will receive credit for Expository Writing if the course taken at the New Jersey Community College is listed as equivalent to Expository Writing at Rutgers on njtransfer.org.

EXPOS CREDIT FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS FROM OTHER FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS - Students transferring from a college or university outside of the New Jersey Community College system may request Expository Writing credit from a course taken at their prior institution if they believe the course is equivalent to Expository Writing at Rutgers by submitting an official transcript, course description, and syllabus to their assigned advisor. Expository Writing credit may then be awarded credit for the course. If the assigned advisor determines the course completed does not qualify as equivalent to Expository Writing the student may submit an appeal to the Rutgers Writing Program.
