Rutgers-Princeton Cooperative Exchange Program
Rutgers University and Princeton University have been engaged in an
exchange program since 1964. The program is informal in that admission
to and registration at the host institution are not required. No funds
are exchanged between the two institutions; the student pays tuition
only at the home institution. Bloustein School students will find the
programs of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International
Affairs particularly of interest. Forms and policies are available from
the Bloustein School's Office of Student and Academic Services.
New Brunswick Theological Seminary and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Exchanges
Cross-registration is available in each of these two schools. Forms are available at the Office of the Registrar.
NJIT/New Brunswick Graduate Student Exchange
Starting in spring 2006, students in the Edward
J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and the Graduate
School-New Brunswick were again permitted to take courses at the
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) via a longstanding arrangement
between Rutgers University–Newark and NJIT
Procedures for students at NJIT
NJIT
students will use procedures in place in Newark and described in the
Exchange Registration Policies, Newark Campus. Students will be
registered as Rutgers nonmatrics and will appear on Rutgers rosters
coded 26:NM:000:GC. Grades will be assigned on the roster.
For Rutgers University–New Brunswick graduate students
Students
must be matriculated to participate. Students will complete the NJIT
Cross Registration Form, which may be printed from the Newark registrar's website.
The student will have the form signed
by his or her adviser or program director, entering the course(s)
requested, and submit the form to the graduate registrar in New
Brunswick, who will fax it to the Newark registrar.
The Newark registrar will register the student directly into the NJIT registration database for the NJIT course(s).
If the course has a Rutgers equivalent
The
Newark registrar will also register the student for the equivalent
course at Rutgers in course school 48. This will generate tuition
charges at Rutgers. There will be no tuition charges from NJIT.
Upon
completion of the course, NJIT will inform the Newark registrar of the student's grade
and the Newark registrar will enter the grade on the roster for the
equivalent Rutgers course. There will be no indication on the
transcript, except for the fact that school 48 indicates a course offered
with NJIT, that the student took the course at NJIT.
If
there is no Rutgers equivalent, the Newark registrar will register the
student for a dummy Rutgers course, GRAD EXCHANGE NJIT, 26:001:015.
This will generate charges at Rutgers. There will be no charges from
NJIT.
Upon completion of the course, NJIT will notify the
Newark registrar of student's grade. The Newark registrar will enter
the grade on the student's record as an exchange course taken at NJIT.
Authorization
There
has been an exchange agreement among the institutions of higher
learning in Newark since the 1960s, approved by the Council of Higher
Education in Newark (CHEN). In 1992, the arrangement was expanded to
include the Graduate School in New Brunswick and the Bloustein School; then,
discontinued. It is now reinstated.
