Math Credit

COLLEGE CREDIT WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL/DUAL ENROLLMENT - For first-year students who have taken a college-level math course while in high school, the transferability of the credits will be dependent upon their performance on the Rutgers Math Placement Test and submission of an official college transcript. For the placement test, they must place at an equal or higher level of the course they would like to receive credit for. For example, if a student has received credit for pre-calculus taken at a college while in high school, they must place into pre-calculus or higher in order to receive the credit for the course at Rutgers.

TRANSFER STUDENTS - Transfer students may receive transfer credit for equivalent math courses taken at New Jersey Community Colleges as indicated on NJTransfer.org (New Jersey Community Colleges only) or for courses listed on the Math Transfer Credit Chart, which also includes courses from some New Jersey four-year institutions. To have credit earned from one of these approved courses applied to a Rutgers transcript, students must provide their advisor with an official college transcript. Transfer students are not required to take the math placement test to take upper-level math courses if they receive course equivalent transfer credit from any of the courses listed on the Math Transfer Credit Chart. The Rutgers-NewBrunswick/Piscataway Math Department will not approve the transfer of any course with 3 or more credits offered in any session (summer, winter, or other) lasting fewer than 5 weeks.

The Rutgers-New Brunswick/Piscataway Math Department will not approve the transfer of courses taught at sites that are not on the campus of the college offering them. Online and hybrid courses are acceptable, on condition that the student documents that the courses had adequate examination integrity protocols.
