Exceptions may be made in very special circumstances with the prior written approval of the Office of Academic Services.

Students matriculated in the University College-Newark must earn 30 of their last 42 credits while registered in classes offered by Rutgers University-Newark or registered in special programs approved in writing by the Office of Academic Services. Students who transfer into University College-Newark from other institutions with senior status must earn a minimum of 30 credits while registered as University College-Newark students in order to receive a bachelor's degree from the college.
