She doesn't have any reviews on rate my professor and I haven't seen any posts about her on this sub. I'm currently enrolled in a section with Stephen Maret, but I would like to get an earlier class if possible which is why I'm considering switching.

What are the best work-study jobs at NJIT? Looking for something light/chill. What jobs would y’all recommend?

I'm starting university this year in Information Systems Engineering, and I want to transfer to NJIT's CS in the spring semester. My high school GPA is 96/100 (approximately 3.8–4.0 on a 4.0 scale). My TOEFL score is 100. Would it be difficult for me to transfer? Could anyone who has tried an international transfer before, or who has knowledge about it, help me out? Thanks.

I'm thinking about going back to a different university that I've been deferring because I wasn't sure what I was doing. My major at a not so well known liberal university is cybersecurity and because of the job market I'm thinking about changing my career path. I've been thinking about going back but because the courses are very rigorous I've been afraid I'm not going to finish. I will graduate Spring 2028 if I stick with cybersecurity but if I go with a bachelor's in mechanical engineering technology then I have a better career path and maybe the job market might be better. I also am working right now as an insurance coordinator and I don't know if it's because the job is boring but I don't know if I can see myself sitting at a desk for many years. I've always told myself that I'm a hands on type of person. I'm just really bad at sticking to things when it gets hard too. The classes at the liberal college have all been online and on zoom. But the classes at the engineering school are mostly going to be in person as well. I like it being online because I don't have to get ready to go to class but I think I made the wrong choice by wasting a year trying to complete a major that's going to get me nowhere because of the job market. I'm also 32 right now and feel like shit because I've been clueless as to what I want to do for years and make a choice but keep changing my mind. I think self esteem plays a big part in it especially with being bullied in HS and being told I was dumb all the time.

Hey guys did any of you take IT340 with Karl Giannoglou. If so I want to know if you got you grade yet on degree works. I still haven’t and it’s getting in the way of scheduling for classes next semester.

I got into NJIT a few months ago for Business Information Systems, did every process and my aid is at 2500$ a year for scholarships. I submitted the financial aid appeal but my mom did not add her own documents until now which I’ve been asking since June for her to do. The aid is being appealed now but August 26th is the deposit deadline and my bill is at 20k a year, ($5500 in loans) . I have a decent internship in December that could pay off almost half of my tuition for this year. If my aid does not get appealed and updated before the due date should I transfer to ECC for 2 years and then come back to NJIT (likely for Business administration ), then do BIS. Looking to be an IT Project Manager after college.

Where to purchase books for first year MechE. Are there any good sites for purchasing books? Do you wait until class starts before you purchase them?

Hello! I understand that this is "old news" now, but there is still time for the NJIT community to raise concern on the change in credit count for full time students. 22 days ago, I posted a "One Question Survey", and received 113 responses. If anyone else has commentary, please feel free to respond. I intend to reach out with the form to Student Senate in the coming days. The more responses, the better!!!

I would like to repeat that it is completely anonymous; I can't even see who responded from my end.

Is the SAT exam important for getting into a CS program? I haven't taken the SAT. If it's important, I will take it. I will be applying as an international transfer student. Thank you!

I have to take both of these courses in the fall, but I can't seem to find any information about the courses themselves.

Anyone got any info?

Hello! Plz lmk if this is not allowed!

I’m an incoming graduate student, and I chose NJIT because employers seem to trust that the graduates they hire are competent and well-prepared for the roles they apply to.

I was instantly drawn to NJIT because I wanted a strong, well-rounded education.

I’m curious about your experience applying for jobs after attending NJIT. I know NJIT has career fairs and other resources, but I’d love to hear about your personal experience with internships, networking, and the job search process or if NJIT helped you in terms of helping with job search

basically the title

i got 70 its so close to 80.because of my job and my health fragility,i always get troubled.i know its cant be curved i guess from prev reddits but if theres any new way to get that 1 percent more?

NJIT’s graduate tuition change isn’t just a 6% increase many full-time graduate students are looking at 70–100% increases

I want to break down what NJIT’s Fall 2026 graduate tuition change actually means, particularly for students in credit-intensive programs like the Master of Architecture.

The headline number can be misleading.

Previously, a full-time NJIT graduate student taking 9 credits or more paid approximately $12,491 in tuition per semester under the flat-rate structure.

Starting Fall 2026, graduate students will instead be charged $1,442 PER CREDIT.

At first glance, someone might divide the old $12,491 tuition by the minimum 9 credits:
$12,491 ÷ 9 = $1,387.89 per credit

Then compare that with the new $1,442 rate and conclude tuition only increased by around 4–6%.

But that’s not how the old full-time tuition structure worked.

The entire advantage of flat-rate tuition was that once you were full time, taking additional credits did not keep multiplying your tuition bill.

Here is what that means in actual dollars:
9 credits
Old: $12,491
New: $12,978
Increase: $487 (~4%)

12 credits
Old: $12,491
New: $17,304
Increase: $4,813 (~39%)

15 credits
Old: $12,491
New: $21,630
Increase: $9,139 (~73%)

18 credits
Old: $12,491
New: $25,956
Increase: $13,465 (~108%)

That’s the problem.

I’m in NJIT’s Master of Architecture program. Architecture isn’t necessarily a program where you can simply take the 9-credit minimum every semester and graduate on the intended schedule.

The curriculum can call for 15 or more credits in a semester.

I personally took 9 credits in Fall 2025 and 18 credits in Spring 2026. My tuition was approximately $12,491 for either credit load under the previous structure.
If I take another 18-credit semester under the new system, the tuition alone becomes $25,956.
That’s more than DOUBLE.

And there’s another problem that isn’t getting enough attention: “Just take fewer credits” isn’t really a solution.

If a degree is designed around taking 15–18 credits during certain semesters, reducing your course load to 9 credits may extend the number of semesters or even YEARS it takes to complete the degree.

That can mean:

• More semesters of tuition
• More mandatory university fees
• More housing/transportation expenses
• Delayed graduation
• Delayed entry into your profession
• Potential prerequisite/sequencing problems when required courses are only offered at certain times
So students can potentially choose between two bad options:

Take the curriculum’s intended credit load and absorb a 70–100%+ semester tuition increase, or reduce your credits to make each semester affordable and potentially spend longer and ultimately more money finishing the degree.

This disproportionately affects programs that are naturally credit intensive.

For example, the old flat-rate system actually encouraged full-time students to progress through their programs efficiently. The new per-credit structure financially penalizes students for taking more than the bare minimum necessary to be classified as full time. And this isn’t something students had years to financially prepare for.
Students enrolled at NJIT under one tuition structure, planned their degrees and financing around it, and are now facing a fundamentally different pricing model beginning Fall 2026.

For me, the difference between an 18-credit semester last year and an 18-credit semester this fall is: $12,491 to $25,956.

That’s $13,465 more for 1 semester.

Calling what these students are experiencing simply a “6% tuition increase” doesn’t come close to explaining the actual financial impact.

The real question NJIT should have to answer is:

Why wasn’t the elim****ination of flat-rate graduate tuition disclosed and discussed as a major change in its own right, especially when the university knew that some graduate programs require or recommend students take substantially more than 9 credits per semester to graduate on schedule?

Anyone know when people who failed the summer class will be dropped? I'm in a waitlist position #3 for a Calc 3B class that I have to take this Fall and all other sections are full. I know that people who registered for a course and are taking the prerequisites during the summer, if they fail, they'll get automatically dropped from the course. As today is the last day to submit grades for all the summer sessions, does anyone know how long it normally takes for people to get dropped from a pre-registered course?

I am in between choosing NJIT vs Rutgers Newark for Computer Science. I'm worried about opportunites that I can get after college. Has anyone been to either schools that can give me some advice and their experience in the job market?

BTW, I've yet to have any internship experience or any real CS skills.

Will the UC allow me to switch rooms? I’m 20 yrs old and my roommates are 26 and mid 40s. I want to live with people my age so is it reasonable to request a change. Also am I allowed to move in after the 15th?
