Important Information to Know

​It is very important for Prospective EOF Scholars to monitor their RCSJ email. Your next steps in the EOF admissions process will be reported to you in your RCSJ email.  

An Offer of Admission letter does NOT ​​​guarantee acceptance in the EOF program. This letter will report the additional documentation you will be required to submit. ​

​​Meeting all eligibility requirements for EOF does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Students must follow all requests of the admission process provided via your RCSJ email.  Final determination for acceptance into the EOF program will be conducted by the EOF Director and/or Assistant Director(s).

**EOF Transfer-In Students** If you previously received EOF at another NJ Institution, please request an EOF Transfer Form from the prior school in which you received EOF. The EOF department should scan and email the completed form to the the appropriate address below:
