Transferring

New Jersey Transfer Law and You – The latest information you need to know!

Good news! New Jersey has a new law, the Lampitt Bill, about smooth transfer from community colleges to New Jersey four-year public colleges. It provides for full transfer of AA and AS credits for graduates, but there are rules and regulations.

Questions regarding transferring, please email here: Transfer Advisor

Here’s what you as a student need to know:

Facts

  • The law applies to AA and AS degree graduates only
  • Major-to-major transfer will work best under the law
  • It is valid only for NJ public institutions
  • Transfer acceptance at a public 4-year school is still competitive; the law does not guarantee that you’ll get in

    Your Responsibilities

  • Choose your transfer major carefully
  • Choose your transfer school as soon as possible
  • Check your transfer school(s) program requirements (prerequisites, etc.)
  • Follow your community college General Education requirements carefully
