I'm at the County College of Morris and want to transfer to NJIT in the future. How can I know which of my current courses will transfer over?
When looking to transfer credits from the County College of Morris to NJIT, your best course of action is to reach out to both school's academic advisers. At NJIT, each department has an academic adviser who can help with questions about transferring credits.
The academic adviser would have a complete understanding of the program of study at NJIT and can help you understand what credits can be successfully transferred. It's also beneficial to have a chat with your adviser at County College of Morris to get your transcripts and course descriptions organized.
You should also check out NJIT's Transfer Credit Evaluator: https://www.njtransfer.org/. This online tool allows you to select your current institution and shows an extensive list of courses from that institution and their NJIT equivalents. Remember that the online tool serves as just a general guide, and speaking directly with an academic advisor will give a more accurate evaluation.
A critical factor to know while transferring credits is to ensure that the courses you have taken at County College of Morris are similar in content and level to the courses offered at NJIT. Also, typically a grade of C or higher is necessary for credits to be eligible for transfer.
Finally, be prepared for the fact that not all credits may transfer, even with the same or similar courses. Each university has its specific policies regarding credit transfers, so it's absolutely crucial to discuss these details in advance to formulate your academic plan effectively.
