The Office of Admissions produces this group of publications for prospective students. Brochures include photos and descriptions of campus buildings and grounds, student activities and events, classroom activities, admission and tuition information. Some of the brochures include a map and a walking tour of the campus. The Guide for Applicants, sometimes called a prospectus, provides much more in-depth information than found in the brochures. It generally includes a brief history and description of the College with photographs, and information on many aspects, functions and offices of the College including accreditation, academic programs and courses of study, faculty, housing, student life, financial aid, admissions information and processes, tuition and anticipated expenses, transfer, graduate, field, international, and continuing education programs, alumni, and directions to the campus.

Series 2: Admission Policies, 1968

Admissions policies created either by the College itself or by the Association of the New Jersey State Colleges.
