All students visiting from another institution should consult with their home school or university prior to registering for a course to confirm that credits are transferable.
Enrolling in a Winter Session course does not guarantee that you may take Fall or Spring semester courses as a non-matriculating student, nor does enrollment in Winter Session constitute admission to Rutgers University. To apply for a degree program at Rutgers, please contact the Office of Admissions, 973-353-5205.
Non-RU students registering for graduate courses must obtain the approval of the graduate director of the department offering the course before registration. Students interested in law courses should visit the Rutgers Law School. Students interested in Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences should contact the RBHS Registrar, and students interested in MBA courses should contact the Rutgers Business School.
Non-RU students interested in taking undergraduate courses offered through the Rutgers Business School should contact the Office of Undergraduate Student & Academic Services.
A Non-RU student may audit a course by entering an "N" in the "Credit Hour Prefix" column on the registration form. The student is expected to complete all the course work, except the final exam, and will be graded "S" or "U". The course and grade appear on the student's transcript. Students opting for audit registration must choose this option prior to the beginning of the course and may not change audit status once the course has begun. This option is available to Non-RU students only, and those students are still required to pay the regular tuition and student fees.
Students who were previously undergraduates working towards a degree and who wish to return to Rutgers should submit the online re-enrollment application.
Graduate students seeking re-enrollment should contact the school that offers the degree they were working towards.
