Transfer Students

Graduate from here, so we can help take you there! 

Colleges both within and outside of New Jersey consistently recognize the value of Atlantic Cape courses by accepting them into upper division programs. However, as in the case of all transfer situations, student performance and appropriate course selections to the intended academic program are the two most critical factors.

Transfer, articulation, and reverse transfer agreements are partnerships between two-year and four-year colleges that allow the smooth transition of students from community colleges to four-year institutions in specific programs or areas. Atlantic Cape is continually working with other colleges to create new agreements that will aid student transfers. Several of the agreements are unique.

Although Atlantic Cape graduates may transfer to colleges/universities throughout the US, they may want to take advantage of one of the articulation agreements below. For more information on the specific agreement, click on a school below.

If your preferred institution is not listed, this does not mean you cannot transfer there. It simply means we do not have a specific agreement with that school & you must follow their admission/transfer requirements to have your credits & degree evaluated. Typically any college-level course, completed with a grade of "C" or better is eligible to transfer. However, it is always the receiving institution's decision if or how to apply those credits to their programs.

For information & updates on a specific articulation agreement or to schedule a virtual transfer advisement meeting, contact Kristi Collemacine.

It's never too early to start planning your transfer. Four-year college/university admission requirements & application deadlines will vary by college. Research and planning are crucial for your continued success. There are many benefits of completing your associate degree at Atlantic Cape, especially if you are transferring somewhere covered under the Statewide Transfer agreement or to a program which is covered by an articulation agreement.

Atlantic Cape's CEEB school code is 2024. This is often requested on transfer applications.

Remember to file your FAFSA (federal aid) & HESAA (state aid) early and include the college/university to which you are applying. FAFSA must be completed each year, for the upcoming school year. Check with your transfer institution for their preferred FAFSA submission due date.

Request your official Atlantic Cape Community College transcripts through the National Student Clearinghouse.  There is a fee for each transcript requested. You should send a transcript when you apply to transfer and an updated transcript once your courses are complete and degree has been granted.

Our goal at Atlantic Cape Community College is to provide opportunities that connect and engage our students and assist in creating an academic and career pathway that leads to their degree completion and transferring process.

We encourage all visiting colleges and Universities to provide transferring information to our students and we ask that you include the importance of completing their Associate’s Degree with Atlantic Cape
Community College before they transfer.

All transfer visit colleges and universities can host an information table once a semester at each campus (Mays Landing, Atlantic City, and Cape May), which equates to three visits a semester. The requests cannot be three visits at the same campus in one semester.
