FAQ Detail
I was hand-scheduled by an advisor. Why did I receive a course that I didn't request?
- FAQ Type: First Year, Registration
- FAQ Response:
Your academic and career interests, along with your course requests guide the hand-schedule creation process. Your selections may not have been available due to time conflicts, placement requirements, prerequisites, or other reasons. In response, a First-Year Dean used their knowledge of the Arts & Sciences curriculum alongside the information you provided about your academic interests to ensure that you remain on track to meet degree requirements with the most appropriate courses. Remember, all classes you complete at Rutgers are a part of your degree--whether they are for your major, minor, SAS Core Curriculum, or elective credits.
Note: If you are a member of a Living Learning Community or other special population of students, you may have been registered for a required course that you did not request, such as the RU-1st seminar or a Topics course. You must keep this course.
