Registering for a Course Step 1 Search for the PPM course you would like to register for, by visiting the Rutgers University Continuing Studies website. (https://ce-catalog.rutgers.edu/search.cfm) On the COURSE SEARCH form, enter the following information and hit SEARCH. Keyword: PPM Department: (Select from dropdown list) School of Public Affairs and Administration Step 2 Select the course you wish to register for by clicking on the title. (E.g. PPM 100 – Measuring Performance) Step 3 Please read through the course information carefully as our course policies regarding Cancellations and Refunds, have changed. PLEASE NOTE: At the bottom of the course information page, you have 3 options: you can either go BACK to the previous page; INQUIRE about other courses or program-related issues; or REGISTER for the course. PLEASE NOTE: The INQUIRE button will take you to a page where you will be asked to fill out an inquiry form. This form will be sent directly to the Certificate Director. Step 4 The REGISTER NOW button will take you to the Login page. The lower section of this page is for New Students. Click on the NEW ACCOUNT button, and follow the prompts to create a new user profile. PLEASE NOTE Even if you have previously registered for PPM Courses using Scholarchip, you are required to create a new account as this is a new course management system. PLEASE NOTE: Once you have created a new user profile, hit the SUBMIT button to go back to the page containing the course information. The options at the bottom of the page now include the ADD TO CART button. Step 5 Once you have added the course to your shopping cart, a summary of the item/s you purchased will appear. Select CHECKOUT to finalize your registration by paying via check or credit card. OR Check the box which says PAY BY PO, then select CHECKOUT, if you will be using a Purchase Order. Step 6 Review the order/transaction details before selecting the PLACE ORDER button. Do not forget to check the box which indicates you have reviewed and accepted our Refund Policy. After placing your order, follow the prompts to enter payment information and complete the transaction. PLEASE NOTE: As with our previous registration portal, Scholarchip, you will be offered the option of paying via check or credit card. If you cannot use any of the options offered by our system (PO, check, credit/debit card) please contact us via email (ppmrn@andromeda.rutgers.edu) to request for an invoice. When choosing the Purchase Order or Invoice route, you are required to remit payment within 3 weeks from the start of the course. Failure to do so will cancel your registration and remove your name from the student roster. Step 7 Once you have registered successfully, you should automatically be included in the student roster for that course. Your Rutgers ID (which can be found on your registration receipt), and the password you used for registration will serve as your Blackboard login information once your registration has been forwarded to the Blackboard administrator for processing. To access your course, log in to the Rutgers University –Newark Blackboard page. (https://blackboard.newark.rutgers.edu/ ) Username: Type CE then your Rutgers ID (e.g. ceru123456) Password: Type in the password you used to register for the course. The course should appear under MY COURSES in your Blackboard home page. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUR ONLINE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM.
