Comprehensive State-wide Transfer Agreement Guidelines

New Jersey enacted the Comprehensive State-wide Transfer Agreement in 2008 to allow smooth transfer from community colleges to New Jersey four-year public colleges. It provides for full transfer of A.A. and A.S. credits for graduates, but there are stipulations you need to know about.

Facts

• The law applies to A.A. and A.S. degree graduates only
• Major-to-major transfer will work best under the agreement
• It is valid only for New Jersey public institutions
• Transfer acceptance at a public 4-year college is still competitive; the law does not guarantee that you will be accepted

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’s General Education requirements carefully
