I'm considering taking some classes at Middlesex County College and then transferring to NJIT. Does anyone know how well classes transfer between these two, and what the equivalency process is like? I could use some insight on their transfer system.
When it comes to transferring classes between Middlesex County College and NJIT, each school has policies and resources to evaluate the transferability of credits. Firstly, you will have to send your transcript from Middlesex to NJIT, upon which the admissions office at NJIT will review your credits to see how they match up with the required courses for your intended major at NJIT.
NJIT generally accepts credits for courses taken at Middlesex and other accredited institutions where you've earned a grade of C or better. You can leanr more about credit transferring here: https://www.njit.edu/admissions/how-credits-transfer. However, not all credits might apply to your specific major, so it's also crucial to consult with an academic advisor before making your decision.
As for the process, typically, the NJIT admissions office will evaluate your transcript once they receive it from Middlesex. This process can sometime take few weeks, so patience is often needed. It's advisable to start this process earlier rather just before registration times for the semester in NJIT.
Here's a specific example of how the course equivalency might work: If you took Calculus I at Middlesex and earned a grade of C or higher, this course would likely transfer over as MATH 110 at NJIT, which is also a Calculus I course.
Again, for the most accurate and current information, I recommend connecting with a transfer advisor at both Middlesex and NJIT. These advisors are familiar with transfer procedures and are equipped to provide you with the most accurate information.
