Advising Handbook for Faculty

Transfer students

transcript evaluations – transcript evaluations are conducted as part of the admissions and enrollment process by the Registrar’s Office. Questions about these evaluations should be directed to Megan Zeller in the Registrar’s office (856-225-6053). The Registrar’s office is located on the lower level of Armitage Hall.
A maximum of 64 credits transfer from two-year colleges. There is no limit on the number of credits accepted from a four-year college, but students must earn a minimum of 30 credits from Rutgers Camden and meet all of our general education and major requirements for a degree.
NJ TRANSFER – this web site provides information about courses that transfer from community colleges in New Jersey to the four year colleges.
Placement testing – students sign up for placement tests (with dates) at: http://cems.rutgers.edu/admissions/1600.php
Placement tests insure that students are enrolled in the appropriate level English composition, mathematics and foreign language course.
English placement testing is required of all first-year students who received a SAT-CR (formerly verbal) score of less than 500. English placement testing is required of all transfer students who have not successfully completed a transferable college level English composition course or have not received a minimum score of 500 on their SAT-CR (formerly verbal).
Math placement testing is required for all freshmen students unless we have awarded credit through the Advanced Placement Program (AP) for pre-calculus or calculus. Math placement testing is required for all transfer students who have not successfully completed a transferable college level mathematics course with a 640 course prefix (not statistics or computer science).
The foreign language exam in Spanish, French or German is required for Arts and Sciences majors who will continue to study the language they studied in high school. Information about exemptions from the exam can be found at: http://cems.rutgers.edu/admissions/1614.php.
