Transfer Students
- Obtaining approval: Students coming to Rutgers University from an outside school and wish to transfer their course credits must obtain approval from the SAS Transfer Center. Most courses at the New Jersey County and Community Colleges have been evaluated and their Rutgers transfer status is listed on NJ Transfer.
- Residency requirement for CBN Major: Students who plan to major in CBN should keep in mind that a maximum of 16 credits of course work from among General Biology and other Life Sciences electives may be transferred from any institution outside of Rutgers-New Brunswick. This limit in course transfer credits does not apply to other required non-life sciences core courses such as General Chemistry/lab, Organic Chemistry/lab, Physics/lab and Calculus/Statistics.
