Principals’ Training Center (PTC)

PTC participants may bank PTC courses with TCNJ in one of the following ways:

1. Four PTC courses
2. Two PTC courses and two faculty-approved external transfers
3. Two faculty-approved external transfers

Banked PTC courses are good for 6 years prior to admission into a M.Ed. or certificate program.

Students do NOT need to be matriculated in a graduate program to bank credit with TCNJ; however, PTC students MUST complete a visiting student application (only once).  Visiting students may bank up to four (4) courses with TCNJ by completing a visiting student application (no application fee or admission materials required).

PTC students who want to pursue a TCNJ graduate program and are currently visiting students MUST apply for admission and submit a graduate application/admission materials (anytime while taking/banking their PTC courses).

Please review the summer 2025 PTC schedule with TCNJ course equivalencies.

• Submit the registration form and fee to your PTC Coordinator.
• Submit additional assignments to your PTC instructor (as instructed).

PTC courses will appear on TCNJ transcripts at the end of the term (fall, spring, summer) in which you took your course. Off-Site and Online Programs (OSOP) will contact all PTC students who have banked credits via email once the course and grade have been placed on their TCNJ transcripts.

Per TCNJ’s Finance Policy, OSOP can only complete the banking process (place course and grade on transcripts) once ALL students have completed and have submitted either a graduate application for admissions as a visiting or matriculated student.

Students wishing to speak to a TCNJ/OSOP representative to learn more about graduate programs with TCNJ may do so by completing this form. Once submitted, a TCNJ staff member will contact you.
