Chem 171/211/248/251/309/310/311

We are unable to issue special permission numbers for lab courses. Please continue to check the online schedule of classes for changes. State fire laws (for your safety) cap the enrollment of lab courses. It is possible that there is some flexibility in Chem 309 or 310. Please email the course coordinator for those courses only.

Upper level lab courses (348, 329)

Contact the coordinator of these courses to find out if there is room to accommodate additional students.

Chem 161SG

159/161/161SG: The course is open to its maximum capacity, and special permission is NOT available.  Please continue to check online for openings. 

165: Solid Gems - please contact Jenice Sabb @ 848-932-3738 to request special permission.

162: Enrollment assistance in the fall is limited to seniors.

Chem 307/308/315

We will not give any special permission numbers in Organic Chemistry 308/316. If seats are available, the stop point will be raised and courses will remain open until filled. Special permission is not available for closed sections. Students who fail prerequisites will be removed from this class, creating openings. Please continue to check the online schedule of classes for openings. If you wish to make an appointment to talk to someone after that date, This email address is being protected from spambots.

MISSING PREREQUISITE

• Confirm that you have the prerequisites. To review the prerequisites for each course, click here.
• If you took the prerequisite at another school, make sure you contact the transfer office (SEBS @ 848-932-3000 ext. 512 or SAS @ 848-445-2050) to have the credit and equivalence transferred. Then, use Degree Navigator to check that the credits have indeed been transferred. You MUST have completed the course with a grade of C or better BEFORE you can register. If you have already done this, visit Wright-Rieman Chemistry Labs room 143 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to make an appointment or to provide information about your circumstances. If you haven't visited the Transfer office, do so first.
• If you took the course at Rutgers (Newark or Camden), but the system is still indicating that prerequisites are missing, visit room 143 in Wright-Rieman Chemistry Labs to provide information about your circumstances. Note that most courses taken at Rutgers-Camden or Rutgers-Newark are accepted as equivalent to SAS courses, but may not be recognized for course registration. In these cases, you need a prerequisite override, and should visit Wright-Rieman Chemistry Labs room 143 for assistance.
• If you are currently taking the prerequisite at Rutgers, email to provide information about your circumstances. In some cases, you may have to wait until you have a passing grade in the course before we will permit you to enroll. If you are taking the prerequisite at another school, you MUST complete the course with a grade of C or better BEFORE you can register.
• Math and Physics Prerequisites: Note that certain Math and Physics courses do fulfill the Math and/or Physics prerequisite requirements for Chemistry courses, but are not always recognized for the purposes of course registration. If you believe that this may be the problem, visit Wright-Rieman Chemistry Labs room 143 for assistance.

SECTION OPEN, BUT WON'T ALLOW ME TO REGISTER

Back to top

• Because some courses of study have very restrictive schedules, we reserve some seats for students in certain programs. For example; if the section says "open only to school xx" and or "By Permission-Department Staff", then you will be unable to register for that restricted section. Once students from these schools have had an opportunity to register, the school restrictions will be removed and ANY ELIGIBLE student will be permitted to register. It is up to the student to continue to check online for changes.
• Some courses are restricted for specific majors. If you haven't yet declared your major, the computer won't permit you to register for these courses. If you have declared your major, but it hasn’t yet been processed, visit in person or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to make an appointment to provide information about your circumstances. If you have declared for a different major than the one(s) listed for the course you want, contact the coordinator of the course.
• If webreg still will not let you register, double check that 1) it is your day to register and 2) you have fulfilled all the prerequisites. If you meet all the requirements, visit in person or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to make an appointment to provide information about your circumstances.
• If it is possible that the section you want may already be closed. The color code (red or green) is updated only once per day.
