Transfer Credit

 The maximum number of courses taken in transfer from schools designated as community colleges or junior colleges will not exceed 16 course units (64 credits) with the following exception.  Students are permitted to transfer all credit required to complete an AA/AS degree program but the maximum number of credits may not exceed one-half of the credits required to complete the TCNJ corresponding degree program. 

The maximum number of courses transferred from all sources will not exceed 20 course units (80 semester hours).

For transferability, one course unit equals four (4) semester hours.  The College of New Jersey will transfer in courses based on this same formula, i.e., a 3 semester hour course will equal .75 course units.
