What is a Pre-requisite? A pre-requisite is a course that must be completed successfully (meaning a grade of D or better) PRIOR to taking the next course. For example, Calculus 2 has a pre-requisite of Calculus 1. If you have not successfully completed Calculus 1, then you do not have the pre-requisite for Calculus 2, and do not qualify to take the course. If you took Calc 1 and Withdrew or got an F, then you must repeat Calc 1 (and pass it with a D or better) in order to register for Calc 2 in the proceeding semester.

If you do not have the pre-req, but feel you are prepared for the course, then you should see the department that offers the course to inquire about a Pre-requsite Override. For example, if you took and failed (or withdrew) from Electronic Devices but feel you are prepared for Digital Electronics (which requires ED as a pre-req), then you need to contact the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Undergraduate Director, Dr Sannuti, to see if a pre-req override will be given. Once you obtain the pre-req override, bring it into B100 for registration assistance.

   If you have completed the prerequisite(s), but were unsuccessful when registering, come into B-100 for assistance.

   If you have not completed the prerequisite, but think you should be able to override this requirement, get a prerequisite override from the department offering the course (http://nbweb.rutgers.edu/departments/index.shtml). Then bring this form into B-100 for further assistance.

What is a co-requisite? A co-crequisite means that a course must be taken at the same time as another course. For example, Computer Archtecture and Computer Architecture Lab are co-requeistes. They must be taken concurrently.

What is a Special Permission Number? A Special Permission Number (SPN) is a 6 digit number that is used to allow a student register for course that is full or that is not open to that student's major or class year.

If you want to get into a course that is full or is not open to your class year or major, see the department that offers the course (http://nbweb.rutgers.edu/departments/index.shtml) to inquire about getting a Special Permission Number. For example, Biology 101 is full and you want to take that course. You should contact the Life Sciences department and request a special permission number. If they give you an SPN, you can attempt to register for the course on your own, or bring it into B100 for further assistance.

   14:440 courses - Come into B-100 for the number.
   All other courses - go to the department that offers the course for the number, whether it is Mech. Eng'g, Math, Economics, Spanish, etc. See http://nbweb.rutgers.edu/departments/index.shtml for locations.
   If you are not listed as a school 14 student and need to take a school 14 course, see Dean Bernath in B-100 for approval first. See Dean Bernath during his office Hours. bernath@rci.rutgers.edu
