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 semester or winter quarter, along
with a listing of the courses planned for the spring semester 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
school should consult the school-to-school website at http://admissions.rutgers.edu/SchoolToSchool.
