Re-Enrollment Criteria for Rutgers Camden–University College (RUC) Students Who Have Been Academically Dismissed

Rutgers Camden–University College is only for students who apply to one of the off-campus programs (Atlantic Cape, Brookdale, Camden County College, Raritan Valley, or Western Monmouth). Any student who wants to attend the main campus in Camden should submit a re-enrollment application for the Rutgers University–Camden College of Arts and Sciences. 

Credits

First-time dismissed students must have successfully completed at least 12 transferable credits at an academic credit-bearing institution.

Students that were dismissed from other Rutgers Schools may NOT re-enroll to RUC.  They must re-enroll back to their original Rutgers school of admission and once they have obtained the admissions criteria for RUC, they may complete a school-to-school application to be considered for a transfer to RUC.

  • Students must complete a re-enrollment application (after their re-admission application has been approved).
  • Students must provide evidence (i.e. an official transcript of any college courses taken since leaving Rutgers) that they can now do satisfactory work at Rutgers–Camden. Send credentials to the Admissions Office; Attention: Re-Enrollment; 406 Penn Street; Camden, New Jersey 08102.

Conditions

  • The Scholastic Standing Committee must first approve students for re-admission before the re-enrollment application can be approved.

  • If a student was on probation, they must still abide by those conditions upon their return to Rutgers–Camden.
  • Students must earn a minimum of 30 credits at Rutgers–Camden to receive a degree from the school.

Other

Some programs have special academic standards in addition to the conditions of admission to Rutgers Camden–University College. If the Scholastic Standing Committee decides in favor of re-admission, this decision applies to admission to Rutgers Camden–University College only. It does not imply admissibility to a particular professional program (e.g. School of Business, School of Nursing, or School of Social Work).
