Students who wish to have a course they have taken elsewhere at Rutgers or externally at another university considered as one of their required or elective courses in the information technology and informatics (ITI) major must submit a petition in writing to the director of the major. Courses taken at other New Jersey colleges and articulated through the NJ Transfer system do not have to be petitioned once they have been recorded on a student's transcript with an ITI course number; however, such courses do count as transfer courses to the major.
A maximum of 6 transfer credits may be counted toward the ITI major.
To request a review of a class from outside the ITI program to be counted toward the major, the letter of petition must include a copy of the full syllabus of the course, a copy of the transcript showing the grade achieved, the ITI course it will replace, and the reasons for consideration. The courses are evaluated in terms of their very close match of content and skills to the ITI course, the level of the course, and the grade achieved, which should typically be a B or better. Students will be notified in writing of the outcome of the petition. A maximum of 6 transfer credits may be counted toward the major.
