Continuing Students
Information for use of the online registration system is made available at the web site http://business.rutgers.edu approximately two months before the start of each trimester.
New Students
New student registration takes place in person at orientation.
Information about orientation is mailed to new students by Rutgers
Business School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick Office of
Admissions. If not received, students are responsible for obtaining
this information.
Trimester Bill
New and
continuing students receive preprinted trimester bills from the Office
of the Bursar. Late registrants for any trimester must obtain the
trimester bill from the Office of Student Services at the time of their
registration. On-time payment of trimester bills avoids the
cancellation of registration and the assessment of a late payment fee.
Change of Registration
The online registration system is used for change of registration
(drop/add). Refer to instructions sent prior to the start of the
trimester. Drop/add forms are used only when the online system is not
available.
Time Restrictions on Change of Registration
First 5 Business Days. Students may drop or add courses without
penalty (no fees, no grades, full refund) provided they are still
registered for at least one course. This applies to all courses
regardless of their starting dates. Students must contact the Newark
cashier`s office (973/353-5265) to request a refund for a course drop.
Second 5 Business Days. Students may drop but may not add courses.
Weeks 3 through 5. There is no refund. Students may drop courses only, and a W grade is issued.
Weeks 6 through 12. Dropping of individual courses is not
permitted during this period. Students may withdraw completely from the
trimester and receive a W grade. Withdrawal forms are available at
the Office of Student Services. Students may not withdraw during the
final examination period.
Maximum Credit Restrictions
Part-time students may register for up to 11-and are encouraged to
register for at least 6-credits per trimester. Full-time students may
register for 12 to 18 credits per trimester. Maximum credit hour
restrictions include E level courses (noncredit courses).
Cross- and Exchange-Registration Procedures
Students may take courses at other Rutgers graduate schools and
programs (cross-registration), as well as at the New Jersey Institute
of Technology or the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
(exchange registration). With the prior permission of the appropriate
department chair, these credits will be counted toward M.B.A. degree
requirements. Check with the Office of Student Services for information
about appropriate procedures.
Nonmatriculated Studies
Courses are offered to qualified nonmatriculated students on a
space-permitting basis at off-campus locations in Hopewell, Jersey
City, and Morristown. For further information, please call special
M.B.A. programs (973/353-1697). Alumni of Rutgers Business School:
Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) may enroll on campus
on a nonmatriculated basis. Students in good standing at other AACSB
institutions may be granted permission to enroll in Rutgers Business
School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick courses in order to
meet, in part, the M.B.A. degree requirement at their institutions.
Students holding an M.B.A. degree from AACSB-accredited programs may
enroll in the post-M.B.A. certificate program.
Immunizations
By law, the university requires that all persons born after 1956 have
immunization against certain diseases prior to enrollment. Every
student should have received an immunization form; if not, be sure to
bring with you proof (signed by a doctor) that you have received two
doses against measles, mumps, and rubella. Exemptions can be made only
for medical or religious reasons, upon written request. For more
information, call 732/932-8429 or 973/353-5231.
