Teachers who are enrolled in NJCTL courses or programs on or before May 1 will be allowed to complete their NJCTL coursework after May 1 and then transfer them to CSU-Global for collegiate credit towards the CSU-Global MSTL program, and/or have the option to have the courses transcribed for collegiate credit on a CSU Global transcript*, under the terms and conditions that were in effect when they began their NJCTL coursework.
After May 1 (midnight MT), teachers who enroll in NJCTL courses or programs will not be eligible to transfer coursework to CSU-Global for credits towards the CSU-Global MSTL program.
