Financial Literacy
INCEPTIA - FINANCIAL AVENUE
New Jersey Institute of Technology has teamed up with Inceptia to give you a leg up on financial education via their online program, Financial Avenue. With Financial Avenue, the idea is to provide you with smart resources to help demystify the world of personal finance. Trust us – getting a handle on your money doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or restrictive. It’s all about empowering yourself with smart basics, and planning from there.
With Inceptia’s money mascot, the Knowl, as your trusty guide, you will have access to ten online courses that take on big financial topics, including:
| Psychology of Money | Earning Money |
| Foundations of Money | Credit and Protecting Your Money |
| College and Money | Spending and Borrowing |
| FAFSA | Debt and Repayment |
| Loan Guidance | Future of Your Money |
We get it, sometimes financial education can be pretty boring and it doesn’t always make a lot of sense if you don’t know how to put your knowledge into action. But, Financial Avenue keeps you on your toes with quizzes, videos, interactive tools, and action plans at the end of each course. With all these tools, we’ve made it pretty easy to know exactly what you can begin doing RIGHT NOW to put your financial knowledge to good use. After all, the Knowl says there’s no time like the present.
SAP Probation Students
At this time, we require students who are on SAP probation to complete a financial literacy module, College and Money. Students with an approved SAP appeal must use the link sent to them in their email to register for the College and Money module. Some other relevant modules we recommend include the following: Debt & Repayment, Spending & Borrowing, and FAFSA.
