A student who has earned 12 college-level credits or more at an accredited institution of higher education by the expected date of entrance at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is considered a transfer student.
In addition to a completed application form, transfer applicants must submit their secondary school record and transcripts from all previous schools of higher education, including other divisions of Rutgers, regardless of the applicant`s desire to receive credit for work completed.
The priority application date for transfer students is January 15. Applicants who submit completed applications by that date will receive full admission consideration. Students who apply after the priority application date will be considered as long as space remains available.
Students currently enrolled in other institutions should submit transcripts of their work through the fall term or winter quarter. All transcripts should indicate the titles, numbers, and grades earned for courses completed and should be mailed directly to the admissions office at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, by the institution(s) concerned. Transcripts submitted to Rutgers by the applicant are not considered official.
International students should refer to Other Admission Options below for information about completing an application for admission.
