Students matriculated in the Newark College of Arts and Sciences must earn 30 of their last 42 credits while registered in classes offered by Rutgers University-Newark or be registered in special programs approved in writing by the Office of Academic Services. Students who transfer into the Newark College of Arts and Sciences from other institutions with senior status must earn a minimum of 30 credits while registered as Newark College of Arts and Sciences students in order to receive a bachelor's degree from the college.
