Expired Transfer Credits

For all degrees, undergraduate course credits normally expire ten (10) years after completion of the semester in which they were earned. Course credit will not be awarded for expired coursework unless approved by the academic department responsible for offering the course using the Expired Transfer Credit Process outlined below.

Expired Transfer Credit Process

Students who have completed undergraduate college-level (post-secondary) classes that are expired will need to follow the below steps if they wish to have their credits transferred to NJIT:

  1. Send official transcripts directly from your issuing institution to NJIT's Office of University Admissions (admissions@njit.edu). 
  2. Students may request approval from the academic departments responsible for the subject(s) in question for possible transfer credit consideration. E.g., for transfer credit for Calculus I, the NJIT mathematics department must review the syllabus and course description for the Calculus course.
    • Using an unofficial transcript, identify the course(s) that didn't transfer
    • Gather the syllabus for the course in question
    • Submit a Transfer Credit Request Form for the course(s) to the academic department responsible for the subject.
    • Check the 10-year-old checkbox

Grades: Students must have earned the equivalent of a grade of C or better in order for the course to be transferable to NJIT.In order to establish course equivalency, your course syllabi and descriptions must be evaluated by NJIT faculty evaluators from the academic department responsible for offering the course.

  1. Review your transfer credit evaluation.
    • You will receive a Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) to your NJIT email if your transfer credits have been processed.
    • Additionally, you can check your NJIT Highlander Pipeline for transfer credits.
    • If you have questions about your TCE, please email transfer@njit.edu.

This process may take several weeks from start to finish, so please plan accordingly.

"Since its foundation in 1881, such real-world innovation has been NJIT's purpose and living legacy. Continuing in this tradition will put New Jersey where it belongs: at the front of the pack, especially compared with the lack of coordination between government and industry nationwide. But make no mistake: the competition is intense and the race is on".
