Transfer
As a transfer student, you can be accepted into the first-year, sophomore, or junior classes.
- You must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale from your former college
- If you have fewer than 24 credits, you must fulfill all requirements for admission to the freshman class
- Candidates for admission from regionally accredited two-year colleges are judged by the same criteria as applicants from four-year institutions
- Generally, you may transfer up to 90 credits from regionally accredited institutions with no more than 75 credits from two-year institutions. Georgian Court also has dual-degree agreements with many New Jersey community colleges that are designed to make the transfer process easier and help you transfer the maximum number of credits
