GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
University policies and procedures are outlined in the NJIT log and NJIT graduate and undergraduate catalogues. Students are responsible for awareness of and adherence to these policies and procedures.
ADVISOR'S APPROVAL
In order to register for the current semester all students must meet with an advisor and have their registration approved. Contact your department for specific instructions. Students registering without the necessary approval may have their registration cancelled.
NEW TRANSFER STUDENTS
Contact your academic department to determine the advisor’s availability. In addition, academic advisors will be available during transfer orientation, which will occur in July and August. Information about transfer orientation will be mailed to all new students.
MAINTAINING REGISTRATION
Students presently maintaining registration should access the Registrar web site at Registrar Online to view the course schedule and registration information.
Students who intend to maintain registration must choose for the course id MR--Maintaining Registration and register for the appropriate section via Registrar Online.
Graduate Students
Graduate Students enrolled in a degree program who find it necessary to temporarily discontinue their studies are permitted to maintain registration with approval of the office of Graduate Studies for a fee of $60 for each semester they do not register and for a maximum of two consecutive semesters. Students working on project, thesis or dissertation are generally not permitted to register for maintaining registration. International students on F-1 and J-1 visa status may not maintain registration unless they have obtained prior written permission from the Office of International Students and Faculty.
Each semester in which registration is maintained is counted in the total time period allotted to complete degree requirements except for students with an approved leave of absence. The Graduate Studies Office and the academic department will generally place registration holds on students who maintain registration for two semesters or more.
GRADUATE STUDENTS REGISTERING FOR PROJECT, THESIS OR DISSERTATION
Students must have their advisor's signature and section number each time they register for project, thesis or dissertation. Students who choose the option of spreading their project, thesis or dissertation over several semesters will have the final grade posted in the semester in which the work is completed. Students are not permitted to maintain registration while working on project, thesis or dissertation. If the topic is not final, you must obtain tentative approval and register before the late registration date to avoid a late fee (See Graduate catalog for policy).
NOTE: International Students: Extended project or thesis registration may not be allowable for students (such as those on F-1 or J-1 visas) who must maintain full-time status each semester. Please consult the Graduate Studies office if you require information on full-time certification.
GRADUATE COURSES FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Undergraduate students may register for graduate courses, 500 level or higher, only with the written approval of the undergraduate advisor and written approval of the graduate program advisor for the program offering the course. Tuition will be calculated at the undergraduate tuition rate and the credit applied to the undergraduate academic record.
CROSS REGISTRATION AT ESSEX COUNTY COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND DENTISTRY
Students cross registering will need two forms: the NJIT registration form and an Exchange Registration form, which can be obtained in the Registrar's office. Students cross registering must include the course(s) taken at Essex County, and UMDNJ (the host school) on their NJIT registration form when registering. List the same course(s) on the Exchange Registration form and obtain permission from the NJIT departmental representative. After obtaining approval, take the Exchange Registration form to the host school during their registration period. NJIT students adding, changing or withdrawing from courses at the host school must also complete a NJIT schedule change form and bring it to the NJIT Registrar's Office on the same date. All courses and all grades received at Essex County and UMDNJ are posted on the NJIT transcript.
Newark UMDNJ and ECC students follow the procedure noted above using the home school cross-registration approval forms. Registrations will be processed in-person at the NJIT registrar's office on a space available basis.
CROSS REGISTRATION FOR COURSES AT RUTGERS-NEWARK
Registration for courses at Rutgers-Newark will take place only during the scheduled day registration hours. There will be no registration during evening hours.
