A part-time high school scholar is given release time by their high school to attend classes at Rutgers–Newark for college credit. Normally, a part-time high school scholar takes one or two 3-credit courses each semester. If the student ultimately applies and gains admission to the university, the credits earned are applied toward the baccalaureate degree and, generally, are accepted as transfer credits to other colleges. Students accepted into the program are advised individually as to the appropriateness of particular courses. For more information, contact the Office of Admissions at 973-353-5205.
