Academic Foundations Courses: Students admitted to NJCU who require coursework to prepare them for college-level courses in English and/or Mathematics are required to take certain Academic Foundations courses numbered below 100. Some of these Academic Foundations courses also have credit-bearing components. The credits earned in those components are counted toward the 120 credits required for graduation with a bachelor’s degree, and those credits and the grades earned in those components are included in the calculation of the CGPA.
