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 in order to receive a degree from the school.

Other Criteria
