  Rutgers Business School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick 2015-2017 Registration Registration Changes  

Registration Changes


The online registration system is used for change of registration (add/drop). Refer to instructions sent prior to the start of the trimester. Drop/add forms are used only when the online system is not available.

Change of Registration and Withdrawal

After the add-drop period ends, the only permissible changes of registration are withdrawals from individual courses or withdrawal from all courses. Both actions are allowed without academic penalty until the end of the seventh week. The date on which the graduate registrar receives notice of withdrawal from the student governs the academic and financial consequences of the withdrawal. Any student withdrawing from a course after the seventh week needs the approval of the dean's office, is required to provide a letter indicating academic status in the course from the course instructor, and could receive a failing grade at the discretion of the instructor. A student who stops attending a course without notifying the registrar will receive a grade of F in that course. No refunds of tuition are given for individual course withdrawals after the drop period ends. A student who withdraws from all courses may receive a partial refund, however, according to the rules described in the section on refunds in the Tuition and Fees chapter. Withdrawal of any sort is not permitted during the last two weeks of classes.

Time Restrictions on Change of Registration 

First five 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 five business days: Students may drop but may not add courses.


Weeks three through five: There is no refund. Students may drop courses only, and a W grade is issued.

 

Weeks six 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.

Change of Program  

A change of curriculum within Rutgers Business School (RBS) requires the approval of the graduate program director and the dean. The transaction is not complete until notice of the approved change has been received from the program director.

Change of Status

Students wishing to change their status within a graduate program, such as from nonmatriculated to matriculated, should file the appropriate form with the department.

 

Any student who has earned a terminal degree in RBS and who desires to continue as a nonmatriculated student should apply for a change of status. To avoid the need for readmission, students in this category should apply without letting their registrations lapse. Foreign students must notify the appropriate office of a change in status.

Readmission or Restoration of Active Status


Students who have interrupted their graduate registration without receiving a degree in the program for which they were enrolled must apply for readmission if they wish to continue in that program. All students who have interrupted their graduate registration for more than two semesters must request readmission through the Office of Student Services. (Applicants may request that previously submitted records be used.) Students who are denied readmission will be required to submit a new application to the RBS Office of Graduate Admissions.
