Spring 2010 Registration Announcement for New Students in the New Brunswick Graduate Professional Schools of Rutgers University
Degree Students
Please consult with your adviser to
discuss your program of studies and your initial registration. You may
register at our website, http://registrar.rutgers.edu, using WEBREG.
Nondegree Students
Nondegree students should consult with
the department(s) in which they wish to take courses. Nondegree
students in the School of Management and Labor Relations and those
taking courses in the department of Communication and Information
Studies will need to secure a special permission number from the department for each course they wish to take in their school of admission, which must be used with the registration index number in the registration process. Registration may be conducted as above.
All Students
You may register via WEBREG at our website, http://registrar.rutgers.edu, until January 15. You may also register in person at
the Registrar’s Office at the above address. You may register on
receipt of this notice, but no later than the end of the first week of
classes. Registration, whether conducted on our website or in person
requires use of your RUID and PAC (initially the mmdd of your birth
date.) Courses are identified by a five-digit registration index number,
in addition to the course number. It is the registration index number
that is used in registration. Closed courses and courses that require
departmental permission require a special permission number in
addition to the registration index number. The department offering the
course controls distribution of special permission numbers.
The schedule of classes can be found at our website. Maps to campus and classrooms are also available there. The schedule is not available on paper.
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 are not used with 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, viewing transcripts and grades,
establishing email and computer accounts, on line bill payment, 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

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