NJ has a website njtransfer.org which is great for the purpose of community college transfers to NJ universities. Many of the individual community colleges also have specific agreements with certain Universities. Rutgers has a program with one or more of the Community Colleges. Generally, your 2 year degree/credits will transfer to the 4 year school. There are programs in place to plan the transfer. My son did it and it went great. The second son has taken various classes at the CC during his time at Rowan and was able to transfer the credits with no problem. I posted a few lines from the Statewide Transfer Agreement. Sorry for the formatting, I copied and psted from a pdf.
One good part if your student is a slow starter as a freshman, is that the gpa doesn’t transfer, only the credits. The grades will be on the transcript with a ‘T’ for transfer, as in TB+. Of course, if you get all A’s you don’t get the gpa boost at the 4 yr school!
