A Message from the President


Welcome Students!

UCNJ welcomes YOU!

We often refer to this as the “Catalog,” but you can think of it as your “On-Time Graduation Guide.”

Graduating on time means completing your degree or certificate within three years or less, and at UCNJ, we are dedicated to helping you achieve this goal. Our faculty and staff work tirelessly to support you in your journey toward success. We are proud to provide an excellent community college education.

This Catalog contains everything you need to navigate your path to success at UCNJ. Be sure to review the Academic Policies section, as it contains important information on academic requirements, including grading standards.

In the “Programs of Study” section, you’ll find a clear roadmap for your chosen program, with more than 65 academic programs available, each offering a detailed, semester-by-semester track toward your degree or certificate.

Earning an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree at UCNJ will significantly improve your chances of transferring smoothly to a four-year institution, especially within the New Jersey system. Completing an Associate in Applied Science degree will prepare you to enter the workforce directly after graduation.

As you begin your academic journey with us, we are committed to helping you succeed. From academic advising and financial aid assistance to free peer tutoring at the Academic Learning Center, we are here to support you every step of the way. Your success is our priority.

Thank you for choosing UCNJ, New Jersey’s community college, to further your education as we continue our mission of transforming our community, one student at a time.

 
Sincerely,

Dr. Margaret M. McMenamin

President
