Registration and withdrawal deadlines are found on the registration website at http://registrar.newark.rutgers.edu. For course withdrawals, please contact your academic adviser.
Courses dropped during the first two weeks of class are deleted
from the student's record; courses dropped from the third to the 11th
week result in a W (withdrawal) grade and a drop fee charge. A student
who drops a course without notifying the registrar automatically
receives a grade of W in that course.
Students may withdraw from the School of Public Affairs and
Administration (SPAA) through the 12th week of classes; the signature of
the associate dean for academic and student affairs is required. A
student who withdraws from the school without notifying the registrar
automatically receives a grade of W in all courses. No withdrawals of
any sort are permitted during the last two weeks of classes; students
who leave the university during this period are considered still
officially enrolled and receive final grades for the semester.
Add/Drop
Students are required to make any necessary changes to their
registration
before the add/drop period closes each semester. These dates can be
found at the Rutgers University-Newark registrar's website.
No course can be retroactively dropped or added after the deadline.
Late Registrations
Registering for a course after
the regular registration period closes will cause a late registration fee (currently
$125) to be added to your account. This fee cannot be waived. The registration
dates can be found on the registrar's website.
Deregistration/Reinstatement
If a student is deregistered
due to nonpayment, SPAA does not permit students to be reinstated/reenrolled.
If a student is dropped for nonpayment the student is not permitted to
attend classes or complete coursework.
