This will be the tip you should be looking at on or before September 1st. I’m gonna break down how exactly to use webreg when you need to add/drop classes. In case you didn’t see, Webreg is Rutgers’s registration site where you add or drop classes.
TO ADD CLASSES:
1. Go to https://sims.rutgers.edu/webreg/refresh.htm and log in.
2. So you’ll get to a page that looks like this:
You wanna click on “Fall 2011” and continue.
3. Once you do that, you’ll come to a page where it lists all your classes for the semester like this:
All of your current classes will be under “registered courses”. What you wanna do is click on the top left gray bar on this screen that says “course lookup”.
5. Once you click course lookup, it brings you here:
On this page, you can look up your classes. So say I were to look up General Biology as an example. I would click on the dropdown that says “010 – accounting”, and look for “biological sciences”. Once you find what you’re looking for, click on it, and click the red and gray button “show courses”.
6. This is what comes up once you click that:
Now if you see the 2nd gray bar there, it says general biology. You wanna click on that arrow, and from there you’ll see this:
These are just a few of the MANY sections of General Bio. Now during add/drop period, there might be sections that say “OPEN” instead of “CLOSED”. These are the ones you wanna add. TO DO THAT:
1. SEE WHICH SECTION FITS IN YOUR SCHEDULE (next to where it says closed are the days, times, campuses, and buildings those sections are in. You need to read them)
2. See any notes (some sections will say they’re for “discovery housing only” or “honor students only”. Again, you need to read them.
7. Once you know which section you want, you need to click on the left check box, scroll up and you’ll see a button on the left that says register. Click that.
TO DROP CLASSES:
It’s much easier. You wanna go back to this page:
On the right side of your screen, you’ll see a gray bar that says “drop”. If you click that, it drops the class.
Also as a sidenote, on this same page is where you add special permission numbers. Whatever the number is, you type it in on the left side where it says “index” and click ‘add courses’.
**A VERY IMPORTANT WORD OF ADVICE: Always try to ADD before you DROP, just in case a class closes quickly, then you’re out of luck. There will be instances where you might be picking a class that happens at the same time as another that you wanna drop and you won’t be able to add it first. In that case, work very quickly and hopefully it doesn’t close on you.
To sum it up: Read this over carefully before add/drop period so you have an idea of how it works.
