Courses that students have taken at other New Jersey colleges which
are articulated through the
NJ Transfer system and recorded on a student's transcript with a communication
course number will be counted toward the major.
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 communication major must submit a request for transfer equivalency
in writing to the Office of Student Services. To submit such a request,
the letter of petition must include a copy of the full syllabus of the
course, a copy of the student's transcript showing the grade achieved,
note which communication course it is requested to replace, and the reasons for
consideration. The courses are evaluated in terms of their very close
match of content and skills to the communication course, the level of the course,
and the grade achieved, which should typically be a C or better.
Students will be notified in writing of the outcome of the petition.
