Career and Transfer Pathways Webpage

The Office of Career and Transfer Pathways provides information about partnerships with four-year institutions to assist students in transferring their Associate Degrees to the four-year college of their choice. It is in a student’s best interest to finish your HCCC degree before transferring to maximize transfer credit and scholarship opportunities.

Transferring from HCCC to Other Institutions

New Jersey’s Lampitt Law is designed to facilitate a smooth transfer from a New Jersey community college to New Jersey public colleges and universities. Under the Lampitt Law, all credits earned as part of an A.A. or A.S. will transfer to New Jersey public colleges and universities. 

Additionally, in order to facilitate the transfer of students (including those enrolled in A.F.A. and  A.A.S. degree programs) to certain Bachelor’s degree programs, HCCC has negotiated special articulation and dual admission agreements. This allows HCCC graduates to transfer coursework smoothly in their major area of study to participating institutions.

Dual Enrollment and Articulation Agreements with Senior Institutions

HCCC has formal agreements with several institutions which provide for seamless transfer.

New Jersey Statewide Transfer Agreement

Effective Fall 2008, all 19 New Jersey community colleges have implemented statewide General Education Foundation guidelines in compliance with the New Jersey Statewide Transfer Agreement. The state-affirmed HCCC General Education requirements, when taken in accordance with HCCC A.A. and A.S. degree curricula, will be accepted for transfer in fulfillment of up to half of the credits required for a basic four-year bachelor’s degree at any New Jersey public institution. HCCC graduates with an A.A. or A.S. will also be considered to have completed all lower division General Education requirements.  Detailed information regarding the statewide General Education Foundation guidelines and the statewide transfer agreement can be obtained at NJ Transfer.

Statewide Reverse Transfer Agreements

The purpose of the Statewide Reverse Transfer Agreement is to create an opportunity for students enrolled at a Four-Year Institution who have transferred credit from a Community College to earn an Associate degree from their former Community College. For more information about reverse transfer, please contact the Office of the Registrar.

Transfer Events

The Office of Transfer Pathways coordinates events throughout the academic year for students to explore transfer opportunities and meet with partner institutions. Transfer representatives from partner schools  will meet with students on campus and offer same-day transfer decisions. A number of schools will also offer application fee waivers to eligible students. These opportunities are available to current HCCC students at both the North Hudson and Journal Square locations.
