Educational Opportunity Program
New Jersey residents who meet certain financial and academic requirements may be
eligible for admission through the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). Be sure to complete Part IV.
Freshman Applicants
Candidates for admission to NJIT who have not attended a post-secondary school
are considered freshman applicants. Be sure to complete Parts I, II (Section A), III, V and VI.
The required credentials for freshmen include:
- An official copy of the high school transcript
- An official SAT I report (ACT scores are
also acceptable)
The application deadline for most programs is April 1. However, since admission to NJIT is selective, high school
students are advised to file the application for admission early in their senior year. Applications received after the deadline will be considered on a space available basis. The application deadline for all accelerated pre-medical and pre-dental programs is November 1. Please note that applicants to all accelerated programs must also apply to the Albert Dorman Honors College (Part VII).
Transfer Applicants
A student applying for admission as a transfer student is someone who has attended a college or university following graduation from high school. These applicants should complete Parts I, II (Section B), III, V and VI. In addition, transfer students must request that official transcripts be sent directly from each
institution the student attended. Transcripts should be sent to the address indicated in "Academic Records" (above).
SAT scores and high school transcripts may be required of transfer students who have completed less than two full years (64 credits) of college level work. The transfer application deadline for all programs for the fall semester is June 1. The application deadline for all programs for the spring semester is November 15. Those students who apply early can benefit from advance course selection, cooperative education/internship placement, and priority for financial aid.
Students who have attended foreign institutions of higher education must also submit an evaluation of their work from World Education Services, Inc. (www.wes.org) or another approved evaluation service. Academic departments reserve the right to make final decisions on the acceptance of foreign transfer credit.
Readmission Applicants
Students who have been officially accepted at NJIT, have attended classes and earned grades, and then have not attended NJIT for a period of at least 1 semester must apply for readmission. These applicants should complete Parts I, II (Section C), III, V, and VI. The readmission application deadline for students in good academic standing is August 1 for the fall semester and November 15 for the spring semester. Deadline for students who have been academically suspended is July 1 for the fall and November 1 for the spring. Files not complete by the deadline will be withdrawn from consideration; at the applicant’s written request, they may be updated to the
following semester.
