Formal admission to the Camden College of Arts and Sciences, University College-Camden, or the School of Business-Camden and payment of tuition and fees are prerequisites to registration. All students, by virtue of registering, agree to comply with the regulations of the university and of the undergraduate colleges.

Registration consists of three essential steps:

1. Course selection with the aid of faculty advisement or the advising office staff.
2. Entry of the selected program through Rutgers' Touch-tone Telephone Registration System (RTTRS) for students with system access, or at the registrar's office for all other students.
3. Submission of the term bill to the bursar along with payment of tuition and fees for the approved Program.

It is the responsibility of the student to acquire, complete, and return registration and term bill information, including payment of tuition and fees, on time.  Students are notified regarding registration, Add/Drop periods and other notices from the Registrar's office via email. When information is mailed, the student's last address of record in the registrar's office is used, but the university cannot and does not assume responsibility if the student fails to receive this information. Those who do not register within the time allotted may be charged the late registration fee of $50.

Students seeking to return, having voluntarily separated themselves from the college, should refer to the Admissions chapter of their school catalog. Applications must be filed before August 1 for September reenrollment and before December 1 for January reenrollment.

Activation of Registration

A student's registration is activated through the submission to the bursar's office of a term bill accompanied by payment, or an appropriate award of financial aid. Activation of registration does not take place if there are "holds" placed on a student's records because of failures to meet outstanding obligations of financial, academic, or administrative action.

Termination of Registration

The University will exercise the right to terminate the registration of any student who has an outstanding financial obligation to the university, after sufficient notice has been given to the student. A student whose registration is terminated at any time during the refund period because of nonpayment of amounts owed the university will receive a revised bill based on a refund calculated as if it were a voluntary withdrawal. The university reserves the right to "hold" transcripts and diplomas as a result of nonpayment of obligations, to forward delinquent accounts to collection agencies, and to levy a collection fee. "Holds" will be removed upon satisfaction of the outstanding obligation. The terminated student may petition for reinstatement of enrollment by satisfying the indebtedness to the university and paying a $50 reinstatement fee.

Cancellation of Registration

To cancel registration and obtain a full refund of tuition and fees, the registrar must receive written notification from the student prior to the first day of the term. A student whose registration is canceled by the registrar receives a full refund of tuition and fees, and prorated charges for room and board, if applicable. Notification of cancellation received on or after the first day of the term is treated, for billing purposes, as withdrawal and a refund is made based on the general refund policy.

General Refund Policy

A student who voluntarily withdraws from all courses during the first six weeks of a term receives a partial reduction of tuition ( and charges for room and board , if applicable) according to the week of withdrawal as follows:

1st to 2nd week         -       80%
3rd to 4th week         -       60%
5th to 6th week         -       40%
No reduction of tuition is granted after the sixth week.

No reductions are granted after the Add/Drop period to students who withdraw from one or more courses, but remain registered in others. No adjustment from full-time to part-time status is made after the Add/Drop period. If withdrawal from one or more courses amounts to complete withdrawal from a program, the provision for full withdrawal applies.

Failure to attend class is not equivalent to a withdrawal, and a student will not receive an adjustment of charges unless a formal withdrawal is filed with and approved by the registrar, regardless of whether the student actually attended classes or took examinations.

Late Registration

Students who do not complete registration during the period prescribed in the registration instructions may do so during the late registration period. A late registration fee of $50 may be charged. Permission to register late does not affect any academic policies.

Successive Registrations

All eligible registered matriculated students expecting to continue their programs in the succeeding fall or spring term are advised to take part in that term's registration in March or November, respectively. Instructions and forms for this purpose are emailed to students.

Participation in this exercise is not binding on students who do not return, for any reason, in the next term; however, eligible students who do return without having participated may be charged a late registration fee of $50.

Change of Course

Students may add or drop courses with their advisers' approval during the late registration period preceding the term and continuing through the sixth day of the term. These changes may be made through telephone registration or in person in accordance with the add/drop schedule.  As of the seventh day of the term, no adds are permitted, and all drops must be made in person in the Office of the Registrar or via webreg. Changes sought by mail or fax are not accepted at any time.

Exceptions to these regulations can be made only by a college's committee on scholastic standing.

Dropping a Course

Courses may be dropped until the end of the eighth full week of the term without academic penalty, provided the student follows the change of course procedures, as described previously. Courses dropped between the ends of the Drop period and eighth weeks of the term are assigned a grade of W. Students dropping a course after the end of the eighth full week of the term are assigned a grade of F, U, or NC in the dropped course; the grade of F is computed in the term and cumulative grade-point averages.

A student who unofficially drops or "Walks Away" from a course for which he or she is registered without following the above procedure will receive a grade of TZ which will convert to F, U, or NC in the course after 4 months.  In the case of part-time students, no refund of tuition is allowed for any course dropped after the tenth class day of the term.

No course may be dropped during the last two weeks of classes.

Special Registration Options

• Pass/No Credit Courses

Students who have completed 63 credits may be permitted to register for a maximum of one course per term, outside the general curricular requirements and outside courses in the major field, for credit on a Pass/No Credit basis.

Permission to take a course on this basis rests with the instructor of the course and the student's adviser.

Courses taken in this program are graded Pass or No Credit as appropriate. A Pass grade earns degree credit and is equivalent to an A, B, or C. A No Credit grade is equivalent to a D or F. In either instance, the cumulative grade-point average is not affected. See Grades and Records below.

Students may choose to change a course registration to Pass/No Credit or to standard grading during the first eight weeks of the term; such changes must be processed through the registrar's office.

Pass/No Credit courses are indicated on registration forms by the prefix P in the credit-hour prefix area.

Any graduate of Rutgers may register for courses on a Pass/No Credit basis.


 

• Auditing Courses

Upon obtaining permission of the instructor of the course and subject to the availability of space, full-time students may audit a course without registration.  No academic credit is earned in the manner, and audited courses do not appear on the student's transcript. Senior citizens also are encouraged to audit courses.


 

• Repeated Courses

Students receiving a grade of D or F in a course designated as repeatable (R) by the appropriate department and taken within their first two terms (regardless of the number of term credit hours attempted) may repeat the course in the next regular term in which it is offered. The student must register with an "R" prefix at time of registration in the Office of the Registrar.  For students who have attempted fewer than 23 term credit hours in their first two terms, the repeat option extends through the third term. Exercise of this repeat course option is subject to the following restrictions:
 
1. This applies only to courses taken at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

 
2. The option may be exercised only once for each course and only in the next term that the course is offered.

 
3. Repeatable courses are designated by the symbol R after their titles in the course description section of this catalog.

 
4. Students opting to repeat must indicate their intent by prefixing the symbol R to the credit value of the course at the time of registration.


Both the original and the repeated course grade appear on the student's permanent academic record, but only the better of the two grades of a repeatable course is computed in the cumulative grade-point average. Degree credit is allowed only once, when the course is passed the first time.


• Intercollege Registration

A student in the Camden College of Arts and Sciences, in University College-Camden, or in the School of Business-Camden may apply to take courses offered at other divisions of the university. Intercollege registration requires the approval of the Office for Student Affairs.
• Concurrent Registration in Institutions Outside of Rutgers (Transient Credit)

Matriculated students at Rutgers-Camden are expected to take all their courses at Rutgers-Camden unless a course required for graduation is not being offered during a student's final terms. Lower tuition, scheduling convenience, or traveling distance are not considered sufficient cause for taking courses elsewhere.

Prior to enrollment, students who wish to enroll at another college for credit must submit a transient application form, available from the offices of academic deans, for approval by the chairperson of their major department, the chairperson of the department in which the equivalent course is offered, and the appropriate academic dean. Under no circumstances will transient approval be granted retroactively.

Students must have the registrar of the transient school send an official transcript directly to the Rutgers-Camden registrar upon completion of the work.

• Withdrawal

A student who desires to withdraw from the undergraduate colleges must:
 
1. Obtain a Notification of Withdrawal Form from the registrar or his or her dean of students.

 
2. Secure an appointment with a counselor in the Office for Student Life for the purpose of obtaining permission to withdraw without penalty.

 
3. Be prepared to state in full, in writing, for the record, the reason(s) for withdrawing.

 
4. Obtain signatures of approval from the financial aid, housing, and, if applicable, EOF offices.

 
5. Return the completed form, in person, to the registrar.


A student who leaves the college unofficially without following this procedure receives a grade of F, U, or NC in each course. A student who is unable to adhere to the above because of illness or other sufficient reason may submit the Notification of Withdrawal Form by mail to the registrar's office.
 

When a student officially withdraws from the college, a grade of W is assigned in each course. This symbol is recorded on the student's record.

Withdrawal as such is not recognized during the last two weeks of class meetings; students leaving during this period receive standard grades for the term.

Please note the notification to the instructor, adviser, or school does not fulfill the student's obligation to communicate directly and in writing with the Registrar in all matters pertaining to changes in registration and withdrawal.

Student Classification
With a minimum of 120 credits required to qualify for a degree, students following a normal four-year program are grouped according to their projected year of graduation on the basis of the number of credits they have satisfactorily completed, scaled as follows:

First-year students       0 - 22
Sophomores               23 - 57
Juniors                  58 - 89
Seniors                  90 and above

Full- and Part-Time Status
The designation of students as full- or part-time is necessary for the regulations governing tuition charges, student fees, statistical records, and other issues affected by such status. Status is determined during the fall and spring terms as follows:
 

Undergraduate Students: 12 or more credits      = full-time (FT) 6.0-11.99 credits       = half-time (HT) fewer than 6 credits    = less than half-time (LHT)

Graduate Students (excluding Sch 24 and 53): 9.0 or more credits        = full-time (FT) 4.5 - 8.9 credits            = half-time (HT) fewer than 4.5 credits    = less than half-time (LHT)

Summer Session:

6 credits or more       = full-time  (FT)
3.0 - 5.99 credits      = half-time (HT)
Fewer than 3.0          = less than half-time (LHT)

Fall 2007 Session
The Fall 2007 Pre-Registration using RTTRS and webreg.rutgers.edu will begin Sunday, April 1st at 10:00 PM and continue through Friday, April 13th. While it is not mandatory for student returnees to advance register for the spring, they gain an advantage through early program selection.  In addition, continuing students may be subject to a $50 late preregistration fee which is charged those eligible who fail to take part in Advance Registration and then register after April 13th for the Fall term.  The act of advance registration does not commit any student to return to school if subsequent financial or academic conditions make it possible, nor is there an obligation to make advance payments of tuition and fees.  In effect the student is simply stating “if I return to the University in September 2007 THESE are the courses and sections I desire, and I EXPECT to confirm this advance registration by the payment of appropriate tuition and fees on or before the stipulated deadline in September.”  To register using RTTRS, you must use a touchtone telephone.  You will know your spring courses immediately after entering them via the telephone or webreg. RTTRS and webreg are available for all eligible students (see exclusions below) and should be utilized in lieu of coming into the Registrar’s Office.  You are urged to select your courses carefully and deliberately.  Make an appointment now to see your advisor.  While most students do not have to meet with an advisor prior to using RTTRS or webreg, you will be responsible for the applicability of your course selection.  If you’re not sure, see your advisor.  Should you need assistance using RTTRS or webreg, the Registrar’s office will have extended hours during the period.

OFFICE HOURS WILL BE:

April 2-5     8:30am - 5:00pm
