Guidelines for approval to take a summer course at another university 

B.S. in Chemical Engineering

Approval to Take a Summer Course at Another University: Continuing NJIT students who wish to take a summer class at a different university must obtain prior written approval from the Chemical and Materials Engineering Department.

** For Permits, please allow 2 business days (not including weekends) for processing. Please DO NOT contact the CME department to inquire about the status of your permit request until 2 business days have passed.

** You will be notified via e-mail when your permit has been processed.

To obtain approval, submit the "Approval to Take a Summer Course at Another University" form. Detailed instructions are located on the form.

*If you are currently enrolled in the prerequisite for the course you wish to take over the summer, your request will be held until after the prerequisite course is successfully completed.

For an NJIT student to receive credit for courses taken at other institutions during the summer, they must follow the procedures and comply with the policies found in the NJIT catalog: catalog.njit.edu/undergraduate/academic-policies-procedures/. In particular the student must obtain approval from the Department.  

Please note that approval is contingent on the following: 

  • NO APPROVALS WILL BE ISSUED FOR ONLINE / DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES. 
  • Students must obtain a signed Approval for Undergraduate Courses at Other University form.
  • Students must submit a signed form to the NJIT Registrar's office. 
  • If students do not have a signed approval form prior to taking a course at another university, the course will not transfer, even if it is successfully completed.
  • Course equivalency must be approved by the professor teaching the Chemical or Materials Engineering course at NJIT.

*Transfer credit will be granted only of the grade of "C" or higher is earned at the university offering the course.
