Pre-College Credit

For all pre-college credits:

Under New Jersey state law, certain approved courses in high school may be taken for college credit. Students with mathematics and or writing courses on a college transcript are encouraged to complete the math, English, and world language placement tests to facilitate timely registration. Beginning in Fall 2025, if a math course transfers as equivalent to a course at Rutgers, it will supersede placement. For questions about dual enrollment credits, please contact the SAS First-Year Advising staff. Students should consult with an advisor to determine if these credits provide an adequate background as a prerequisite to the next level of coursework in SAS.

Courses taken through Rutgers University:

In most cases, courses taken during high school at Rutgers or through programs offered by Rutgers appear directly on the student's Rutgers transcript and grades are included in the grade point average. There may be instances where specific courses may not be applicable to a School of Arts and Sciences major or minor or Core curriculum learning goals. Upon student request, an E-prefix can be added to courses taken during high school, indicating that the courses do not count into the credit total for graduation nor is the grade computed into the GPA.
