Transfer Credit Evaluation

Whether you are a student transferring admission from another college to NJIT or a current NJIT who has taken classes at another college, you need to have those classes evaluated by NJIT to determine if, and how many, credits will count towards your NJIT graduation.

Transfer Credit from New Jersey Community colleges

Students who transfer to NJIT from any New Jersey county college should review the Comprehensive State-Wide Transfer Agreement for guidelines concerning transferability of credits from New Jersey public community colleges to NJ public four-year institutions.

Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB)

NJIT accepts credit for AP exams and IB higher level (HL) coursework. Details on the scores needed and transfer equivalencies can be found at https://www.njit.edu/admissions/apply-online.

Credit By Examination

Credit-by-examination offers NJIT students the opportunity to earn credit for certain NJIT courses if those students have acquired sufficient knowledge through nontraditional means like independent study and/or job related experiences. This program has two components: the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and NJIT Department Testing.

The CLEP consists of standardized examinations and is supplemented by a related testing program called DANTES; a limited number of CLEP subject examinations may be taken to gain credit for certain NJIT courses. The courses for which CLEP examinations are accepted are mostly freshman level. Information about CLEP for NJIT is available on the CLEP website. Local testing centers can be found on the CLEP Test Center Search page.

For students interested in gaining credit for more advanced (upper division) courses, most of our academic departments offer a limited number of exams in their academic area. Interested students should contact the individual departments and learn about the availability of tests and procedures for being tested. Once the academic department has approved a request for a departmental examination, the student may be referred to the Office of the Registrar to complete forms.
