Transfer Student Information
Upon acceptance to New Jersey City University, a $50.00 tuition deposit is required to confirm your intention to enroll. Upon receipt of this deposit, the student's academic transcripts are evaluated. Transfer students have the option of completing a Transfer Credit Evaluation Form, which will expedite your credit evaluation by visiting the following website http://web.njcu.edu/sites/uactransfer/. Once your request is completed, a representative from the Transfer Resource Center will contact you to let you know of any required follow-up appointments and/or procedures. Please allow 2-3 business days for your request to be processed. For further information concerning transfer credits, contact the Transfer Credit Evaluator at the University Advisement Center, (201) 200-3418.
The University Advisement Center (UAC) is the main point of reference for new and continuing students. In addition to academic advisement, you can also change your admit status, declare your major, and have your transfer credits evaluated.
If you are undecided on which major to pursue, you will have the opportunity to be advised and registered at the University Advisement Center. If you know what program you intend to major in, and expect to transfer more than 30 credits, you should contact the department chairperson or dean to schedule an advisement appointment (see department listing below). To declare a major, you must stop by the University Advisement Center to complete a Declaration of Major form (Vodra Hall 101).
Please let your advisor know if you intend to complete an AA or AS degree before you enroll to ensure proper advisement. Final transcripts should be submitted no later than the end of January in order to receive a complete and final evaluation before the start of the Fall semester.
