NJ TRANSFER offers a web-based data information system, providing students consistent and reliable information.  When accessing any of the transfer and articulation pages, you will see a “Help” button in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Click the “Help” button for an explanation of each page, as well as helpful hints about how to use the tools found on that page. When you initially choose any of the four following menu options: Find Course Equivalencies, Plan Your Academic Program, Evaluate Courses, or Search Using Keyword; you must select a ‘Transfer From’ and ‘Transfer To’ Institution.  The ‘transfer from’ institution is the two-year college and the ‘transfer to’ is the four-year college or university.  Use the drop-down arrows to choose the appropriate schools and click submit.

Find Course Equivalencies allows you to search for a specific course(s).  Enter either the course prefix or the course ID at the community college.  Then click go.

The course look-up result screen provides users with information for a particular course at both the ‘transfer from’ and ‘transfer to’ institutions, including course ID, title, minimum and maximum credit, the course equivalency at the four-year institution, and the general education area(s), if any, that the course fulfills at both the ‘transfer from’ and ‘transfer to’ institutions.  Click on the Gen Ed area for the four-year institution to view a list of all courses at the two-year school that will fulfill this Gen Ed area. Additionally, the effective date(s) of both the community college course and the four-year institution’s evaluation(s) are displayed.

If you choose ‘Display RTP using sender courses’ the grid will display the community college course IDs that will satisfy the first two years of the academic program at the four-year institution. Click on any blue Gen Ed area to view a list of courses available at the two-year school that will fulfill the four-year institution’s requirement.

If you choose ‘Display RTP using receiver courses’, the grid will display the four-year institution’s course requirements for the program.

Select Evaluate Your Courses from the main menu or Evaluate Transcript at the bottom of the any screen. Enter the community college course ID’s, grades and semester/year the course was completed.  Next, choose RTP Evaluation or Course Evaluation.

If you want to evaluate courses from more than one community college, select ‘Click here to choose from a list of appropriate institution codes’ and use the drop down arrow to select the appropriate college.

To save an RTP evaluation, click Save Summaries.  Select More Evaluations to apply the county college courses against other RTPs at the same institution, or change the receiving institution to apply the county college courses against the same major at another four-year institution.  Click Show Summaries to view/compare the entire list of RTP summaries.

Users can perform four search functions using Keyword Look-up:
