Please consult with your adviser to discuss your program of studies and your initial registration. You may register online at our website
(WebReg), http://registrar.rutgers.edu. New admits to degree programs in the Graduate School must consult with their Graduate
Program Directors prior to their initial registration. New admits in the graduate professional schools and nondegree admits in the
Graduate School may register upon admission or as soon as registration opens, usually in mid - April for the fall semester or summer
session and November for a spring semester. You may consult the registration calendar at the above URL for further information.
Students admitted to the School of Social Work will receive written instructions for registration from the School, usually in June.
Students admitted to the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology will be registered by the student services
coordinator for the first semester. Students will meet at orientation in June to get their schedules

Nondegree students should consult with the department(s) in which they wish to take courses. Nondegree students in the Graduate
School and all non degree 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/All students
Students may register via WebReg at our website, https://registrar.rutgers.edu, generally, until the semester begins. Once the
semester begins you may change your registration on WebReg, but you may not initiate your first registration on WebReg, you must
do so in person at the Registrar’s Office at the above address. You may conduct your initial registration no later than the end of the first
week of classes. Changes to existing registrations may be made during the first two weeks 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, http://registrar.rutgers.edu. 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 no degree 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 no degree 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/.
