Transfer Students
If you are a transfer student and require a Physics course to be reviewed for transfer credit, you must provide the following documents:
-
A copy of the unofficial transcript showing the grades.
-
An official course syllabus or outline for each Physics course you are requesting transfer credit. Only a grade of C and above will be considered for transfer.
Bring the required documentation or email it to Donald James located at 463 Tiernan Hall, Monday through Friday, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm, email: djames@njit.edu
Transfer credit will not be considered unless these documents are received. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the official transcript gets sent to the Office of University Admissions.
If the student needs a permit for a Physics course, you must apply online at: http://physics.njit.edu/permits/
