СŷÊÓƵ

A: The СŷÊÓƵ Affiliates program provides unique opportunities for alumni and/or partnerships with various institutions and organizations, with benefits such as streamlined admissions and tuition discounts for qualified programs.

A. While СŷÊÓƵ offers many ways for students to pursue an education, only credit-bearing programs published in the catalog are eligible programs:
 

A: Continuing students in approved programs are eligible for the benefits from fall 2025. To receive the benefits, students must demonstrate eligibility every fall (from fall 2025 onwards). Benefits are not retroactive to prior semesters of enrollment. Students must submit a FAFSA or NJAFAA.

A: In most cases, yes! To be eligible for the discount, you must file either a FAFSA or NJAFAA application. Your tuition discount will be applied to any remaining balance not covered by financial aid. Contact the financial aid office at financialaid@njcu.edu or 201-200-3173 to determine how your award package will be adjusted.

A: In most cases, yes! If your employer is an СŷÊÓƵ Affiliate, you may be eligible for tuition discounts or other benefits as long as you are enrolled in an elligible program. Contact the graduate admissions office at 201-200-3409 or gradadmissions@njcu.edu or financial aid office at financialaid@njcu.edu or 201-200-3173 as soon as possible to update your status. As well as verifying employment eligibility, you must file a FAFSA or NJAFAA.

A: In most cases, yes! But you must have graduated from an approved credit bearing program and be currently enrolled in an approved credit bearing program. Contact the graduate admissions office at 201-200-3409 or gradadmissions@njcu.edu or the financial aid office at financialaid@njcu.edu or 201-200-3173 as soon as possible to update your status. You must file a FAFSA or NJAFAA.

A: Yes! You may be eligible for tuition discounts or other benefits. Contact the graduate admissions office at 201-200-3409 or gradadmissions@njcu.edu to discuss your options.

A: Benefits are not retroactive for prior semesters and adjustments will not be made to bills already paid. Contact the СŷÊÓƵ Bursar’s Office at 201-200-3045 or bursar@njcu.edu to discuss your options.

A: No. Your diploma will be the same as any other СŷÊÓƵ graduate’s.

A: Yes! All СŷÊÓƵ students, including part-time and affiliate students, have access to campus resources such as student organizations, the fitness center, and career services.

A: It depends on the program. Some СŷÊÓƵ graduate programs have minimum GPA requirements. You will need to meet the admissions requirements for your program of study. Contact graduate admissions at 201-200-3409 or gradadmissions@njcu.edu  to discuss your options.

A: The СŷÊÓƵ Affiliate benefits extend to graduates of any credit bearing approved program. If you graduated from an approved program, you will be eligible for the benefits.

A: No, your eligibility is based on your СŷÊÓƵ alumni status, not your level of engagement with the alumni network. Contact the graduate admissions office at 201-200-3409 or gradadmissions@njcu.edu for details.

A: Students should remain continually enrolled. If you withdraw for a semester, you are at risk of losing your benefits. If you delay starting your program, you will be eligible only if you can demonstrate eligibility when you begin.

A: Alumni benefits are reserved for students who have completed one of the approved credit bearing programs in the catalog. However, you may still qualify for financial aid or standard admissions benefits when returning to СŷÊÓƵ.
