Transfer Credits

The college accepts all undergraduate credits transferred from other regionally accredited institutions of higher education. Transfer credit shall be accepted at NJC with an academic/university transfer and/or career/technical designation. When a question exists to course equivalency or designation, a request will be made for a description of that course from the transfer college or school from which the course was taken.

Transfer courses from regionally accredited institutions of higher education and from regionally accredited post-secondary programs from area vocational schools that correspond to equivalent NJC/university transfer or career/technically designated courses shall be accepted at face value (in semester credit hours) These transfer credits will be used to fulfill as many course/program requirements as possible. Courses for which there are no equivalencies will be treated as electives.

Only transfer credits will passing grades of A, B, C, S (satisfactory) or P (pass) will be evaluated and transcripted. Transfer credits and grades will not be used in calculating an NJC cumulative GPA.

All lower division undergraduate credit hours awarded within the prior ten years will apply towards the completion of the graduation requirements. Credits more than ten years old will receive careful consideration. The Registrar, in conjunction with the Department Chair of the respective academic divisions, reserves the right to examine any courses more than ten years old to determine their currency and applicability to existing curriculum and programming before credit is accepted.
