Advising and Academic Services
A request for credit override exception to 21 credits is considered only when a student is in their final semester and taking exactly 21 credits will allow a student to meet their minimum graduation requirements. Requests are reviewed on an individual basis, including evaluation of course composition, a full transcript review, and consideration of past performance.
No! Students in their final semester are permitted to register for only what is required to complete their degree. Please check with One Stop to review any financial aid implications of being less than full time.
Review policy here.
Students who have completed 90 or more credits may take up to two courses (8 credits maximum, one course per semester) on a Pass/No Credit basis. Applications open the week of add/drop each semester. Click here for further information about the Senior Pass/No Credit Request. Submission Deadline:
You are not able to drop below 12 credits on webreg. Please log into LiveChat or email from your Rutgers email with the specific course(s) and index number(s) you wish to drop.
