NJIT Reverse Transfer Agreement Initiative

NJIT has launched a Reverse Transfer Agreement program, whereby it may be possible to receive your associate’s degree based on the combined coursework at your community college and additional credits that you completed while attending NJIT.

In order to participate in the reverse transfer process, an eligible student must meet the following criteria:

A.            Students must have met the residency requirement and designated minimum grade point average at the Community College prior to enrollment at the Four-Year Institution.

B.            Students must have applied and been admitted to the Four-Year Institution.

C.            Following enrollment at the Four-Year Institution, students must have earned a cumulative total of 66 semester hours between the Community College and the Four-Year Institution.

D.            Students must be current with financial obligations to both the Four-Year Institution and the Community College.

E.            Students must have met all of the graduation requirements of the Community College.

Students are eligible to submit information to the program twice a year, once in January and again in June.

If you are interested in participating in this initiative, please complete the following REVERSE TRANSFER FORM providing information on the community college you attended, authorizing the University to initiate the Reverse Transfer process, and requesting that NJIT submit your university academic transcript to the community college you have requested this information to be submitted. Additionally, the Office of the Registrar will contact potentially eligible students beginning in November for the January data submission, and in April for the June data submission.

Submission of this data will be considered an electronic signature authorizing both the reverse transfer process and the release of your academic transcript to your prior community college.

Upon confirming your enrollment status and that you are current in your financial obligations, the University will transmit your academic transcript to the Community College you requested, along with a notation that you intend to seek a reverse transfer.

Please note, this is a free service and you are under no obligation to participate; the University is providing this initiative as a service to our students, and as a way to recognize your previous academic achievements.

New Jersey Institute of Technology would like to congratulate you on your accomplishments! 

The information here will outline the steps to take to ensure you are prepared to graduate.
