Students should consult the University catalog for the general policy and regulations within their specific school pertaining to transfer credit for courses taken elsewhere.
Course "equivalency" is usually determined after admission to Rutgers. Students from community colleges in New Jersey can determine which courses transfer to Rutgers University, prior to admission, by referring to the website www.NJTransfer.org.
The Department of Kinesiology and Health will evaluate and approve "377" or “955” courses only. We do not evaluate transfer courses in the areas of biology, math, business, etc. Those evaluations must be done by the departments offering those courses.
Students wishing to take courses at other colleges or universities over the summer should check with the appropriate department to determine if a course is equivalent, and with their respective college (SAS or SEBS) for written pre-approval and to ensure the credit is transferable before it is taken. In addition, it is advisable to verify the acceptance of all transfer courses with your dean’s office.
