MATHEMATICS-NB SPECIAL PERMISSION PROCESS

There are three kinds of special requests students may need to make to the undergraduate office to gain admittance to certain courses.

• Admission to some honors courses is by permission of the department.
• Admission to closed sections of regular courses requires a special permission number.
• Admission to courses for which the prerequisites have been filled in an unusual way may require a prerequisite override

For special permission for closed sections of summer courses write to ugvcsp@math.rutgers.edu

Special permission for admission to HONORS COURSES requiring MAThematics department approval

Students should request special permission for these courses by completing the appropriate special permission form available in the Mathematics Undergraduate Office, Hill 303, Busch Campus.

PREREQUISITE overrides

A student who is unable to register for a course because he or she lacks the proper prerequisites should not request a special permission number. Under some circumstances—for example, if the student has taken appropriate prerequisite courses elsewhere, and these are not yet credited to his or her Rutgers transcript—a prerequisite override form may be obtained from a mathematics department advisor.

Special permission for admission to CLOSED SECTIONS

A student should seek this form of special permission only after trying to register through the Rutgers Touchtone Registration System (732) 445-1999 or the Rutgers Web Registration System Rutgers Web Registration and finding that all sections that he or she can take are closed.


Fall and Spring Terms
• Matriculated undergraduates should request special permission for admission to closed sections using the automated special permission system described below.
• Non-matriculated undergraduate students and graduate students should request special permission for admission to closed sections by completing the appropriate special permission form available in the Mathematics Undergraduate Office, Hill 303, Busch Campus.
These requests can be submitted only during the first week of classes


Summer Term: contact ugvcsp@math.rutgers.edu


While the department tries to accommodate students, there is NO GUARANTEE that any special permission request will be granted.

Automated special permission system
For CLOSED SECTIONS—For matriculated undergraduates
Fall and Spring Terms—First Week of Classes Only

• Who:
Matriculated undergraduates who wish to get special permission to enter closed sections of mathematics courses should use the mathematics department's web-based system.


• When:
The system is available from the first day of classes until the last day to drop classes without a W.


• How:
Students using this system DO NOT need to have their own computer accounts or e-mail addresses; they only need access to the web which is available on all campuses. Deans' Offices should be prepared to help disabled students with their special permission requests.
