A student who has or will have earned 12 college-level credits or
more at an accredited institution of higher education by the expected
date of entrance is considered a transfer student.
The
transfer applicant must submit transcripts from all previous schools,
including other divisions of Rutgers, whether or not he or she wishes
to ask for credit for work completed. Students currently enrolled in
other institutions should submit transcripts of their work through the
fall term or winter quarter along with a listing of the courses planned
for the spring term or quarter. If the latter information is not
provided on the transcript, the student should list it on the
appropriate section of the application form. All transcripts should
include the titles, numbers, and grades of courses completed and should
be mailed directly to the admissions office from the institution
concerned. Transcripts submitted directly from the applicant will not
be accepted for credit review.
In addition to the college
transcript, a transfer applicant must submit (1) the application form
and (2) the secondary school transcript.
The priority filing
date for transfer students is January 15. Transfer applicants who
submit completed applications by that date will receive full admissions
consideration. Students who apply after the priority application date
will be considered as long as space remains available. Credit for work
done at another institution is determined after applicants have been
admitted to the college and have indicated that they plan to attend.
Credit is generally granted for equivalent courses taken at an
accredited institution of higher learning, provided the student earned
grades of C or better. Students wishing to transfer from another
Rutgers college should consult the college- to-college web site at http://admissions.rutgers.edu/collegetocollege.
