Graduate Courses
Students in the Graduate School–Newark may take
courses offered by other graduate divisions of Rutgers University. To do so, students must first receive
approval from the graduate program director. Then they enter the necessary registration transaction
through WebReg, Rutgers' web registration system, (https://sims.rutgers.edu/webreg), or in
person at the registrar's office. Once the graduate program director
authorizes the intra-institutional graduate course, no additional
permission is required by the Graduate School–Newark. Undergraduate Courses
With the approval of their program director, graduate students may
enroll in advanced 300- and 400-level undergraduate courses. This move
may be taken as part of the regular graduate program or to remedy a
deficiency in the preparation for graduate work.
Courses
numbered 500 or above are designed for graduate students and normally
carry credit toward a graduate degree. When a student is either
permitted or required to take a course numbered below 500, a credit
prefix must be entered in person at the registrar's office.
Before
the start of the semester in which the course is taken, written approval must
be obtained from both the student's graduate program director and the dean of
the graduate school before an undergraduate course can carry credit toward a
graduate degree. The credit
prefix appears on the permanent record as follows:
E. The undergraduate course is excluded from credit in the graduate program.
G. The undergraduate course has been approved for graduate credit.
No more than 6 credits numbered below 500 may be used to fulfill
requirements for an advanced degree. The only exception to this rule is
the M.A.T. program.
