Please read carefully before applying for a Special Permission Number:

• What is an SPN? A Special Permission Number, or SPN, is a 6-digit code assigned solely at the discretion of the course/section instructor that allows students to register for a closed section. When entered into the online registration system, the SPN helps you gain access to closed courses. Please note that applying for an SPN does not mean that you are guaranteed to receive one.
• When can I request an SPN? Students may only request an SPN for Rutgers Arts Online courses up to seven days prior to the start of the Rutgers–New Brunswick semester and ending on the last day to Add or Drop a course without receiving a “W” grade. Check the Academic Calendar on the New Brunswick Registrar’s Website for the appropriate dates. Students wishing to request an SPN must fill out this form, which will be sent directly to the course/section instructor.
• When will I get my SPN? Instructors are asked to reply to all SPN requests within 48 hours. After 48 hours, students who have not received an SPN should consider their request denied and consider enrolling in a different Rutgers Arts Online course.
• If I didn’t use my SPN, can I give it to another student to use? If you decide not to use your assigned SPN, please contact email Rutgers Arts Online immediately to let us know. We will re-assign the SPN to another student who did not previously receive one. Students who give their assigned SPNs to other students will be penalized and risk not being assigned any future SPNs.

 

All courses are authored and taught by professional practitioners who are educators and industry experts. Students are provided access to their online courses on the first day of the semester. The syllabus will be listed in the course. Some instructors may email the students before the start of the course. For a copy of the syllabus or any other questions, please contact your instructor directly.

Registration for courses at Rutgers University as a transfer student in no way guarantees admission to a degree program at the University. Subsequent transferability of courses to a degree program either at Rutgers or elsewhere is determined solely by the degree program from the home academic institution.  Students matriculated at other colleges should have their course selections approved by their home institution prior to registration to insure credit transfer.

Students must be accepted as a student of Rutgers University before registering for classes.
