Policies and Procedures

NJIT seeks to create a community where rights and mutual responsibilities are both recognized and valued. The university promotes the intellectual and personal development of its student population within an environment of freedom of inquiry. In order to preserve this climate of academic freedom, students are expected and required to adhere to high standards of moral, ethical and professional behavior. These expectations are outlined in the Code of Student Conduct.

About

1. How do I access the 101 Hudson building?

Per 101 Hudson policy, proper identification is required for admittance into the building at all times.

Visitor Passes

If you are registered for class(es) at NJIT’s Jersey City location, you must present your NJIT Newark campus ID at the security desk in the ground floor lobby when signing in on your respective day(s) of instruction. Once security personnel confirms your identity, they will take your photo and print you a visitor pass for the day. You’ll then be directed to a security checkpoint to the left of the lobby where your belongings will be scanned.

Please keep your visitor pass with you at all times; if you exit the building and re-enter the same day, you will be required to present your visitor pass or obtain a new one. Visitor passes are only valid on the day they are issued.

Access Cards

Students registered for class(es) at NJIT’s Jersey City location during the current academic term can request a building access card by e-mailing jerseycity@njit.edu in order to bypass checking in at the security desk. Access card requests must include the student’s name, 8-digit NJIT ID number, and the course(s) for which they are registered at the Jersey City location.

All requests must be received by the following deadlines each semester in order to be processed:

  • Fall: September 30th
  • Spring: January 31st
  • Summer: May 31st

Please note that access cards are only valid while classes are in session and may be activated/deactivated at the start and end of every academic term.

2. Can I bring a friend with me while I’m in class at the Jersey City location?

NJIT's Jersey City location has three classrooms designed to bring our graduate STEM education to a convenient location in nearby Jersey City for currently enrolled students. While students are not permitted to bring guests/visitors to the NJIT suite, we encourage you to check out this guide of nearby things to do in the area!

Please keep in mind that our current schedule of classes begins after 101 Hudson's regular business hours. Since the 101 Hudson building is secured and closed to the public after 6:00 p.m., loitering in the lobby or other common areas is also not permitted.
