Students who transfer from other
institutions or who, while matriculated at Rutgers School of Nursing, receive approval to take courses at other institutions (under registrar for second-degree students or undergraduate program forms), may receive degree credit for academic
courses with a grade of C or better. Transfer or matriculated students at Rutgers School of Nursing who are approved to take the following courses in the nursing major: Pathophysiology, Nutrition, Life Span, Developmental Psychology, and Interpersonal Communications at another academic institution will only receive credit with a grade of C+ or better.
Courses without a School of Nursing/Rutgers University equivalent will be reviewed on a
course-by-course basis. As such courses are reviewed, this will be noted in NJ
Transfer. The School of Nursing does not transfer
credit for courses passed by examination at other institutions. Courses that were not offered in traditional classroom format (for
example, independent studies, internships, fieldwork, etc.) are
typically not awarded transfer credit. Extension, professional, military, technical training, and continuing
education courses typically have informal or no prerequisites and are
designed to provide discrete, targeted knowledge rather than being a
part of a broader liberal arts curriculum. As such, many of these
courses are not awarded credit in the School of Nursing unless they are clearly equivalent
to courses offered by the School of Nursing.Science courses offered online as well as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), including those taught through
Coursera, are not transferable to the School of Nursing.
Transfer
credits and grades from institutions other than Rutgers University are not
included in the cumulative grade-point average.
