Applying: The Pathway Program does not have a separate application. Students apply for general admission to The College of New Jersey. If, in reviewing an application, our admissions counselors feel this program would be the best fit for a student, they will extend an offer of admission to the Pathway Program. (Note: Applicants to all majors at TCNJ are eligible for the Pathway Program, with the exception of nursing.)
Accepting our invitation: You must submit two forms — the Pathway Acceptance Notification Form and the Pathway Contract, both found in the online Application Portal — along with a nonrefundable $600 enrollment deposit by June 1 to confirm participation.
Requesting a spot on the waitlist: Students may decline their offer of acceptance into the Pathway Program and request a place on the TCNJ waitlist for general fall admission by using the Pathway Enrollment Notification form. Waitlisted students are typically notified of a decision in June. Because the college admits as few as 10 students from the waitlist in some years, the Pathway Program is the best avenue to guarantee a seat in the incoming class.
