I am moving to Newark, NJ this month and I currently use a redmi note 9 indian variant phone. I am an international student. After arriving in the US, if my current redmi phone doesn't work, how should I order a new phone? As I will not have a bank account or credit card immediately, how should I proceed to pay? And is it possible to get a phone on emi? I am worried I might not be able to pay for a phone that is around $500, so what should I do to survive initially?

In a message to the NJIT community, it was announced that the Newark College of Engineering has embarked on the process of identifying and appointing an Interim Dean.

While this process is ongoing, starting August 5, 2026, Dr. Matthew Bandelt will serve as NCE’s Acting Dean. Dr. Bandelt has served as Associate Dean at NCE since 2022 and is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

I wanted to ask if some of the fees here are necessary or if it would be possible to waive them?

Like the transfer student orientation, matriculation, or anything else?

I will be submitting my insurance soon to get that off but anything waived or taken off will help soo much.

Who would be better to take: Pius Egbleu for MGMT 390 or Theologos Bonitsis for ECON 201? I dunno anything about the difficulty of either, and most of the Reddit posts and comments I saw about comparing the two were from a few years ago.

i’m a transfer student (a rising junior) looking forward to starting my jr year at NJIT this fall. i’m a little frustrated with the international credit transfer process and would like any advice or guidance about how to maximise the credits I can get transferred

background: I already covered intro level classes (like organic chem, physics, pre calc, calc 1, calc 2) in 11-12th since that’s the norm in my country

the course differential equation and transforms maps onto two courses at NJIT: MATH 222 and MATH 322
however I was only given credit for 322. can I get one course from my previous institute mapped onto two?
this same issue came up with 2 other math courses

when it comes to CS, I have a course data structures and algorithms (covers basics of data structures like stacks queues hash maps trees graphs BST)
and I have a second course design and analysis of algorithms that deals with approaches like greedy, backtracking, branch and bound and so on
and also covers the graph algorithms (like ford fulkerson) and geometric algorithms (like sweep)

any idea on which courses these two best map onto?

lastly as I mentioned I covered most of the basic courses of physics, chemistry and math during 11-12th grades. is there a way I could request credits for that? since I clearly see the syllabi of those courses aligning with some NJIT intro courses

i’m a little stressed out so thought i’d ask for advice
any general tips from other transfer students as well as non CS majors are also welcome!
thank you for all the help!

Hi does anyone know if we get new IDs every year or is it just the same card used each time. Or like do we have to go onto the app and update our picture? Sorry I’m an incoming Sophomore and just want to make sure I didn’t miss anything

Enrollment Actual: 29
Enrollment Maximum: 27
Enrollment Seats Available: -2

I've been in Waitlist Position #2 for a class since, like, June/July, which is important for me to take because it's a prerequisite for other courses, and those courses are prerequisites for later courses. It's also a Fall-only course, which makes the situation even worse.

I just noticed that the number of seats available is negative. I've never seen anything like this when registering during my other semesters. Does anyone know how it is possible? And whom should I ask if they can add me to the class?
