Housing: Pathway students are strongly encouraged to live on campus. TCNJ’s housing requirement states that all first-year students must live on campus, and those who are unable to must submit a Housing Exemption Request. Pathway students who live on campus will have the total cost of the room and board added to their fall bill. They will reside in the same residential spaces as other first-year students. Historically, students who live on campus during their time in the Pathway program have matriculated at a higher rate.
Varsity athletics: NCAA rules prohibit non-matriculated students from participating in varsity sports. Pathway students can, however, participate in the many intramural and club sports at the college. They are eligible to participate in varsity athletics upon matriculation.
Clubs and organizations: TCNJ encourages all students to get involved with the Lions community. There are a few exceptions: Pathway students are not able to join the Student Finance Board, be Student Government Association representatives, or hold leadership positions in campus organizations. These options become available without restrictions to all Pathway students once they matriculate.
