Residence Requirement
To earn a bachelor’s degree, a student must complete at least 12 course units at The College of New Jersey. Normally the student’s last eight course units must be taken at the College. No more than three course units in the senior year may be earned away from the College. Such enrollment must be expressly approved in advance by the student’s department and the Office of Records and Registration. National Student Exchange and study abroad under the auspices of TCNJ meet the senior year residence requirement. Academic departments may require that a specific number of major courses be taken at The College of New Jersey. Academic departments also may require the student to validate major courses taken at another school. Within the major, exceptions to the residence requirement within the senior year may be made by the department chair with the concurrence of the appropriate dean; outside the major, exceptions may be made by The Office of the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs with the concurrence of the appropriate dean. Regardless of exceptions granted with respect to the final eight course units, there are no exceptions to the overall minimum of 12 course units required to earn a bachelor’s degree at The College of New Jersey.
