Most students who enter University College-New Brunswick previously attended other universities or colleges. Official transcripts from all prior educational institutions must be submitted before any decision is made on admission. Applicants must state on the application form all previously attended institutions. The omission of such information may be cause for automatic dismissal or denial of transfer credit.
University College ordinarily admits transfer students applying directly from another institution if the applicant`s cumulative grade-point average for a minimum of 24 academic credits is 2.5 or better. Special admission interviews may be required of applicants whose cumulative grade-point average is below 2.5 but above 1.9. Ordinarily, applicants with cumulative grade-point averages of 1.9 or less are not admitted.
Applicants whose previous academic records make admission to the college questionable must submit all documents in advance in order to be considered for admission.
Students who have been dropped from another institution, including other colleges of Rutgers, for scholastic reasons, cannot be considered for admission until at least one year has elapsed since the date of dismissal and they have completed at least 12 transferable credits with a cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 or better.
