Admission for Full-Time
and Part-Time Re-Entrants
(Re-Admit Students)
Students who have not enrolled for more
than three academic semesters must file an
application for readmission with the Office
of Undergraduate Admissions. This application
should be submitted before April 1 for
the upcoming fall semester, or by November
1 for the subsequent spring semester.
Applications received after these dates will
be processed according to the availability of
space.
Students who have attended any other
colleges or universities since last attending
New Jersey City University must forward
official transcripts from these institutions to
the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at
New Jersey City University.
Certification Programs
Students interested in completing a teacher
certification program on a part-time basis
should contact the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions for an application. Individuals
who have already received an undergraduate
degree at an accredited college or university
and who wish to take courses to enable them
to meet requirements for the New Jersey
Teacher Certification are admitted under
the classification “Certificate Program.” A
special program is developed in each case
and it is advisable to consult the appropriate
department before making a formal application
for admission. In all teacher certification
programs, those students who have not
successfully completed a student teaching
experience prior to admission to study must
be prepared to spend one semester of fulltime
study to complete the approved certification
program. Certification students must
apply for Junior and Senior Field Experience
courses immediately after registration. A
student must have obtained an undergraduate
CGPA of 2.75 to be considered for a
Teacher Certification Program.
Admission to a part-time certificate
program does not constitute admission to a
baccalaureate degree program. A part-time
student admitted to study in a certificate
program who wishes to complete an undergraduate
degree must apply for admission to
a degree program.
Part-Time Non-Classified Study
Students interested in taking courses on a
part-time basis for personal or professional
enrichment may choose from a broad range
of classes offered from 8:00 a.m. to 9:50
p.m. Such students will register as nonclassified
students and need to submit:
1. An application for admission to part-time
study;
2. An official high school/college transcript
of work completed or a photocopy of a
GED diploma with official GED scores.
Students admitted on a part-time, nonclassified
basis will not be considered eligible
for federal or state financial aid.

international students to join our growing
