FAQ Detail

It depends. If your failure to be eligible for financial aid is due to an insufficient completion rate, then the answer is yes! We will only factor in the courses that transfer back to Rutgers. What that means for you is that if you withdraw from, or fail a class, elsewhere, the credits won’t transfer back to Rutgers. BUT, we also won’t hold those withdrawals and failures against you, like we do with the courses you attempt at Rutgers. If your issue is due to a low GPA, then taking classes elsewhere will not resolve the issue. In fact, as you can see from the table above, if you earn more credits, the minimum GPA you must earn is higher, so taking classes somewhere else might make the situation worse. It is important to talk with your academic advisor to determine what is best in your situation.
