Transfer credit for work done at another institution is evaluated after an applicant has been admitted to the college of his or her choice. Except in certain specific instances, credit is generally granted for courses taken at an accredited institution of higher learning, provided the student earns grades of C or better. Credits will transfer but grades do not transfer into the Rutgers GPA. It should be noted, however, that both Newark College of Arts and Sciences and University College-Newark accept a maximum of 12 credits in professional electives. Each college transfers courses differently. The maximum number of credits accepted from a two-year college is the number of credits required to earn the A.A. degree, not to exceed 65 credits. Transfer students should note that, generally, credit will not be accepted for courses in military or aviation science, physical education activities, secretarial/office science, cooperative education, and developmental or remedial courses.
For accounting, finance, management, and marketing transfer students, upper-level courses in these subjects generally are not accepted for credit toward the major. The maximum number of credits transferred may not exceed 94 credits from a four-year institution, 65 of which may be from a two-year college.
