Course Information

Courses Offered by Other Rutgers Faculties. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the wide range of courses offered by other faculties and schools at Rutgers in New Brunswick. However, students must be careful to maintain the proper sequence of courses in the pharmacy curriculum. Any deviations require the advice and written permission of the academic dean`s office.

Regardless of where students take courses, they are governed by the academic rules of the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy. Registration must be completed through the Office of the Registrar with authorization by the academic dean.

Auditing Courses. With the permission of the instructor and subject to the availability of space, full-time students of the school may audit courses without registration. No record is kept of courses audited and no academic credit is earned.

Summer Courses. Students must receive academic advising and permission in writing from the dean`s office of the school before enrolling in course(s) during summer sessions at colleges outside of the university. Summer Session Course Request forms are available from the Office of Academic Services, Room 102. Enrolling for more than 3 credits per Summer Session or more than 9 credits during one summer is considered an overload and requires special permission from the dean`s office of the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy.

Professional courses may be taken at other colleges of pharmacy during summer sessions only after having failed the same course at Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and having been granted permission in writing to repeat the course by the instructor of the failed course (or departmental chairperson) and the chair of the Scholastic Standing Committee.

For more information about Summer Session courses, contact the Office of Academic Services, Room 102.

No degree credit is granted for any Summer Session course work that has not been authorized by the dean`s office of the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy. It is the responsibility of the student to supply the Office of Academic Services with an official transcript from the college outside the university showing the grades received. Credit will be granted only for courses in which grades of C or better have been attained. No student will be permitted to progress with the prescribed program of study until the transcript is received. Only courses taken at Rutgers during Summer Session will have the grade applied to the student`s cumulative grade-point average.

Students who are matriculating in the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy may not withdraw from the Summer Session during the last seven calendar days of a course without incurring a grade of F unless excused by the academic dean`s office of the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy.

Attendance. Students are expected to attend all scheduled course meetings. When a student is frequently absent from class exercises, quizzes, or examinations, it becomes difficult or impossible for the instructor to evaluate that student`s performance. The instructor therefore may require that the student obtain authentication of the circumstances that led to such absences. The grade for work missed is counted, discounted, or made up at the discretion of the instructor, except in the case of final examinations, where the academic dean must rule whether or not the student may take a makeup final examination.

Every student must notify the academic dean or a designee of any anticipated absence from class for a week or more. In the case of illness, the student must obtain a written statement on his or her physician`s official stationery or a prescription form indicating diagnosis, dates of illness, and treatments. Such a statement must be submitted to the academic dean or a designee within three school days after the absence.

Examinations. Final examinations are held at the end of each term. All students enrolled for credit in a course in which a final examination is given must take the examination. During the term, announced and unannounced tests may be held at the discretion of the instructor.
