Credit
Hour Policy
Rutgers University has policies approved by its Board of Governors that speak to the issue of credit hour assignment. These include the preamble to the Academic Regulations Controlling the Educational Divisions of the University (Rutgers Policy #10.2.1) and the Units of Credit policy (Rutgers Policy #10.2.4). The latter defines course credit as the "academic currency" of the university that is to be used by all schools and colleges. It delegates the authority for determining course credit to the "college, school, or Faculty authorizing the course."
Related university policies that guide the use of credit assignment include:
The determination of course credit within each school or college of the university is informed by New Jersey Administrative Code Title 9A (see 9A:1-1.2 and 9A:1-2.1).
Credit hour decisions for online and hybrid courses and other alternative format courses are also governed by the tenured and tenure-track full time faculty within the colleges and schools of the university, in conformity with standard accepted practice in higher education. Each school has its own procedures for how this is accomplished, depending upon size of school and the concomitant faculty, as well as tradition. In some instances, for example, within the largest academic unit at Rutgers, the School of Arts and Sciences, online and hybrid courses proceed through a formal faculty process that begins by review and recommendation from a curriculum committee and then a faculty vote on course approval. At the Graduate School-New Brunswick, these courses and complete degree programs are vetted by faculty committee and then approved by the graduate faculty.
Policies in the Rutgers University Policy Library are maintained and regularly updated/amended according to Formulation and Issuance of University Policies (Rutgers Policy 50.1.13).
The faculties at Rutgers have primacy in setting the policies and procedures of credit hours for their respective schools and units. Through each school’s faculty, Rutgers has a clear and sustainable process for creating courses and deciding how many credits they will carry. Each school has its own set of bylaws that grant power to standing faculty entities, usually a faculty curriculum committee, which includes an ongoing process of review and assessment of assigned credit hours. Illustrative examples of this activity within the colleges and schools of the university include the School of Arts and Sciences, School of Communication and Information, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Newark School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Management and Labor Relations. |

Drug
Free Schools and Campuses Act
Rutgers has adopted university-wide policies regarding alcohol and other drugs for both students (10.2.14) and employees (60.1.11). Information on the risks associated with alcohol and drug use, along with a listing of resources available to members of the university community dealing with alcohol or drug concerns, is posted on the Alcohol and Other Drug Information website. Additional information regarding alcohol and drug use, including the university’s student code of conduct and relevant New Jersey laws, is also available on that site.

Title
IV Academic Program Lengths
Per current federal guidelines, student eligibility for direct subsidized loans is limited to 150% of the normal program length required to earn a specific credential at an institution. (For example, 150% is six years for a typical four-year bachelor’s degree program.) Normal timeframe is defined as the expected amount of time it takes most full-time students at an institution to earn the credential, although some students may take more or less time than the majority to do so.
For this purpose, Rutgers University uses definitions of normal program length available here.
Additional information regarding the 150% federal direct subsidized loan limit may be found at the following website: https://ifap.ed.gov/150-percent-direct-subsidized-loan-limit-information.

Title

in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Sex
discrimination includes sexual harassment and sexual assault. While it is
often thought of as a law that applies to athletics programs, Title IX is
much broader than athletics and applies to many programs at Rutgers. While
