Rutgers University - New Brunswick has created the following registration procedure that allows non-matriculated students to take classes on a space-available basis. There is no age restriction for students to register for classes but they must meet all pre-reqs. Parents of students under the age of 16 will be required to sign a waiver that states that they understand that their child will be in an adult environment. They will be required to escort their children to and from their classes.

Registration Process
Students interested in registering for courses during the Fall or Spring semesters without any affiliation to any degree program may submit a Registration Inquiry Request via online at http://visiting.rutgers.edu.
The Registration Inquiry Request will be made available to the visiting students two weeks prior to the beginning of each semester.
The process will consist of the following:
1. Complete the Registration Inquiry Request online with all pertinent information.
2. Once your information has been received and you’ve been added to our central database, an automated email will be sent to you with 48-72 business hours containing your RUID number (Rutgers University Identification Number) as well as your PAC (Personal Access Code).
3. Once you have received your RUID and PAC, students are asked to visit the Schedule of Classes online via http://soc.ess.rutgers.edu/soc. You may view all courses offered via this website as well as days, times and any restrictions associated with these sections. As you peruse the website and make your selection(s), students should make a note of the courses information, including the Course Registration Index number (this number will be used later for registration).
4. Once registration begins and you’ve finalized your selection(s), you may visit https://sims.rutgers.edu/webreg/ to begin the registration process.
5. Click on the visiting student link and enter your RUID and PAC. Once you’ve logged in, you may enter the registration index numbers of the course(s) you have selected and click on “add.” If successful, the system will confirm your registration at the top of the page.
If you encounter any difficulties, you may contact the Office of Continuing
Studies at rcs@docs.rutgers.edu or
732.932.7922. Inquiries regarding Special Permission Numbers or Pre-requisite
overrides should be addressed to the department offering the course.
6. Once you’ve registered for your course(s), you can pay your term bill at http://www.studentabc.rutgers.edu. (you will need your RUID and PAC to access the online system). If you wish to pay your term bill in person or acceptable payment methods, please refer to the website for available locations and additional information.
7. If you’ve completed your registration transaction(s), we recommend that you logout of the system.
PLEASE NOTE: Registration is not guaranteed and is contingent on space availability and/or departmental approval. Transferability of credits is solely determined by the institution(s) you have applied to or are matriculated in. In addition, recognize that registering for courses via Rutgers Continuing Studies does not guarantee acceptance into any academic program offered at Rutgers University.
