transfer to the four-year college I plan to attend? |

selection using the Recommended Transfer Program component of NJ
TRANSFER? |

|
| Q: |
By completing the
Recommended Transfer Program (RTP) in NJ
TRANSFER,
will I also satisfy all the course requirements for the AA or AS Degree
at my community college? |

Not always. Although many of the course
requirements for the AA or AS Degree correspond to those in the freshman and sophomore years at the four-year college or university, there can be significant differences between the two programs. |

|
| Q: |
If I complete all
the community college course and general education requirements outlined
in the Recommended Transfer Program, will I have satisfied all the freshman
and sophomore requirements for the four-year institution I plan to attend? |
| A: |
Not necessarily. Some
four-year colleges and universities have other requirements, such as demonstrating
proficiency in a foreign language. It may not be possible to reflect these
requirements in the Recommended Transfer Program. We strongly encourage
you to read the text information found at the bottom of the grid on the
Recommended Transfer Program page. Also, if available, click on links
that provide comprehensive information about the institution's academic
policies and requirements. Lastly, we suggest you seek the advice of your
transfer counselor. |

| Q: |
I took a course at
my community college I think should transfer to the four-year institution
I plan to attend. However, based on the information in NJ
TRANSFER,
it doesn’t. Who should I contact? |

We recommend you
first meet with the transfer counselor at your community college. Then,
if you still have questions, contact the department at the four-year institution
that corresponds with the department offering the course at your community
college. |

|
| Q: |

options. Your counselor may advise you to take other courses that
will transfer into your major program of study. You may also consider
enrolling at the four-year institution you plan to attend during
a summer session to complete the courses not offered at your community
college. |

| Q: |
What does it mean
if a course is 'Pending'? |
| A: |
'Pending' means the course has not been evaluated by the four-year institution. It is likely this is a new course at the community college that was recently submitted for review. We recommend you e-mail the person at the four-year institution listed on the Transfer Contacts page. |
