You may take certain courses at
another institution over the summer or winter sessions (not during the spring or fall terms) and
transfer the credit (not the grade) to be applied towards your Engineering degree at Rutgers.
A grade of C or better is required for the credits to be eligible for transfer (the grade does
not transfer into the transcript/gpa).
Courses eligible to be taken outside of RU during the summer/winter include first and second year courses of
the engineering curriculum: math, physics, chemistry, humanities/social science electives, non-school 14
tech electives, sophomore level introductory major courses. Junior and Senior level major courses may NOT
be taken outside of RU unless failed first at RU.
Who pays for the summer tuition? Summer tuition is paid for by the student. Students can check with the
Office of Financial Aid to see if there is any funding available for the summer session.
Is the course equivalent to the course at RU?
To check equivalencies for NJ Community Colleges, go to
.
For all other institutions or any other transferring concerns, please request advice from Dean
Prendergast (Engineering Bldg Rm. B-100,
lprend@rci.rutgers.edu ). If you wish to take a course at a 4 yr institution or an institution outside of NJ, the student must provide
a course description for evaluation (printed from the school's website, or copied from their printed course catalog).
Before registering for any course outside of Rutgers, fill out an Authorization for Transfer
Credit form. The form must be signed by Dean Bernath, Dean Prendergast, or Dean Rankin.
Click here for the form, or pick one up in Eng'g Bldg Rm B-100.
How does RU know I took and passed the course? Once the grade has been posted at the other school, THE STUDENT MUST REQUEST
to have an Official transcript sent from the external school to our office. If the student does not do this, the transcript will never be sent.
