SPN's will be accepted in three rounds. (If you didn’t get an email for a SPN, then you are on the waiting list.)
Round 1 will open December 8 at 9:00 am. It will be open only to seniors in the class of 2024 and juniors in the class of 2025 with more than 90 credits, and close on December 15 at 5:00 pm.
Round 2 will open December 15 at 5 pm and close January 2 at 5 pm. It will be open to all classes for students with more than 30 credits. Note: Rutgers is closed December 25, 2023 to January 2, 2024; no requests will be processed during this time.
Round 3 will open January 2 at 5 pm and close January 23 at 5pm and will be open to all students. Notifications will go out after review.
For students who have not taken 750:193, Physics for the Sciences, and wish to take 750:194, submit your request in Round 3 only. Notifications will go out after January 8. Note that very few SPNs are available for 750:194 and priority will be given to seniors. You are recommended to take General Physics 750:204 and the 206 lab to complete your physics course requirements.
For SPN's for the on-line section 90 of General Physics 750:204, please request here:
