For students anticipating taking summer courses at community colleges, be sure to check with your advisor and complete the Transfer Course Preapproval form.

Check NJTransfer.org for course equivalency.

Transfer Course Preapproval form must be completed and approved prior to registration at the community college.

Remember! General Chemistry and Physics can be split up and taken at separate institutions but NOT General Biology or Organic Chemistry

• SAS Biochemistry vs SEBS Biochemistry
  • Completion of Org Chem I (307) and II (308) is required for the Pre-Vet and Lab Animal Science tracks.
  • 01:694:395 Biochemistry for Life Sciences (SAS) requires Org Chem I (01:160:307 OR 01:160:315 OR 01:160:209 Elementary Org Chem as the prerequisite).
  • 01:694:407 Biochemistry (SAS) requires Org Chem I as the prerequisite (01:160:307 OR 01:160:308 OR 01:160:315 OR 01:160:316).
  • 01:115:403 General Biochemistry (SEBS) requires Org Chem I and II as the prerequisites (01:160:308 OR 01:160:316 OR 21:160:336). 
• Elementary Organic Lab (01:160:211)
  • Only offered in the Fall semester. Requires prerequisite Intro to Experimentation 01:160:171.
  • Completion of Elem Org is required for the Companion Animal Science track.
  • Elem Orgo Lecture (01:160:209) is not offered in Summer 2026.
• General Microbiology (3+1 lecture, 11:680:390) is preferred over the SAS Microbiology, fits better with AniSci schedule. Orgo 307 is the prereq.

• Must register for 4-credit lecture and 0-credit lab together.
• Offered in Fall-Spring and Spring-Fall sequences. Both 193 and 194 offered in Fall 2026.

Extended General Physics (01:750:201-202)

• Best for students that haven’t taken much physics previously.
• Must register for 5-credit lecture and 0-credit lab together.
• In Spring-Fall sequence. Neither 201 or 202 offered in Fall 2026.

General Physics (01:750:203-205, 204-206)
