Office Of The Registrar, New Brunswick

Spring 2010 Registration Announcement for New Students in the Graduate School - New Brunswick, Rutgers University

Degree Students

You are required to consult with your program director prior to registration.  After advisement your department will either sign the enclosed registration form, which is then to be submitted to this office, or they will notify the registrar to enable you to register online at our website, http://registrar.rutgers.edu, through January 15.

Nondegree Students

Consult with the department(s) in which you wish to take courses, and secure a special permission number for each course you take in the Graduate School, which must be used with the five-digit registration index number in the registration process. You may register online at our website, listed above.

All Students

Certain students may register online (see above.) Online registration is conducted at WEBREG at the above URL. Registration, whether on WEBREG or via the paper registration form, requires use of your RUID (student number) and PAC (initially the mmdd of your birth.) Courses are identified by a five-digit registration index number, in addition to the course number. The registration index number is used for registration. Closed courses and courses which require permission of the department require a special permission number for registration along with the registration index number. The department offering the course controls distribution of special permission numbers. Once you are registered you may make changes to your schedule of courses using WEBREG. You may also visit the Registrar’s Office at the above address.

The schedule of classes can be found at http://registrar.rutgers.edu. Maps of classroom locations are also available. The schedule is not available in paper format.

Credit hour prefixes: WEBREG will offer you the option of registering with a credit hour prefix. Prefixes are required for undergraduate courses, to clarify their relevance to your program, but not for graduate courses. Prefixes are as follows: E - Course does not count in average or toward degree; G - 300-400 level undergraduate course taken for credit toward current graduate degree program—not applicable for nondegree students; N - course taken not-for-credit (audit), S or U grade, no final exam, course appears on transcript. Note: the system will automatically assign the appropriate prefix for nondegree students.

NETWORK ID: University policy requires all students and employees to establish a Network ID (NET ID). A NET ID is required for on line address updates, PAC number changes, on line bill payment, viewing transcripts and grades, establishing email and computer accounts, as well as accessing other services . If you have formally accepted admission, or are registered for a course once the semester has begun, you may establish your NET ID by visiting this web site: https://identityservices.rutgers.edu/netidquery. Once you have established a NET ID you are encouraged to create your personalized portal to University services and information, MyRutgers, at http://my.rutgers.edu/portal/.

All students are also required to provide a personal emergency contact at https://personalinfo.rutgers.edu

ID CARDS: Information regarding student identification cards can be provided by the RuConnection Office. (website: www.rci.rutgers.edu/~ruconxn) Phone: 732 445 6949.


Term bills
