I’m finding it a bit tricky to access certain admissions resources on the NJIT website. Does anyone have tips on how to best navigate it or key info that might be hard to find?
Navigating any university or college website can indeed be overwhelming given the volume of information present. Let's break it down for NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) specifically:
- The homepage of NJIT is fairly intuitive, with a series of tabs at the top. For admission related information, your primary interest will be the "Admissions" tab. Hovering over it will reveal a dropdown menu where you can choose from "Undergraduate", "Graduate", "Transfer", or "Online" depending on your admissions requirements.
- Selecting "Undergraduate", for instance, will lead to a page where you can find information on "How to Apply", "Visit NJIT", "Tuition and Financial Aid", "Housing" and more. Additionally, you'll find a section for "Deadlines & Decisions", which has crucial information regarding dates and timelines for applications.
- The "Apply Now" button on the "Undergraduate Admissions" page leads directly to the Common Application website. NJIT uses the Common App for their application process.
- For financial aid resources, go to the "Admissions" tab, and select "Tuition & Financial Aid". You’ll find details regarding scholarships, student employment, tutorial for FAFSA filing and a Net Price Calculator, which gives an estimate of your possible financial aid package.
- Check "Academics" tab on the main navigation bar for information about various programs, departments, and majors offered by NJIT. Selecting each individual department gives an insight into what to expect regarding course structure, faculty, research opportunities and more.
- The "Student Life" tab takes you to a page filled with info about NJIT's campus life, housing, clubs & organizations, athletics, support services , etc.
Remember that the search function can be your best friend for finding specific information. As you familiarize yourself with the layout, important specifics will become easier to find.
Just ensure that you cross-verify any crucial information (like application procedures or deadlines) either through admissions office contact or from other credible sources. You can get in touch with the admissions team, if you ever need to, right here: https://www.njit.edu/admissions/contact-admissions. Website updates do happen and sometimes not all website sections reflect the most current information.
