Information for Visiting Students
Registration requirements and other important details for students from other schools taking classes at NJIT
Rutgers University - Newark Cross-Registration
Students at Rutgers University - Newark are required to meet many of the same prerequisites as NJIT students. In some cases, where a particular class is required for your degree program, but the prerequisite is not, we will waive that particular prerequisite. In some cases, information on Rutgers's web system may differ from the actual prerequisites enforced by NJIT.
When you have taken the prerequisite class or classes at Rutgers, you will need to request a permit in order to register for the class here at NJIT. As part of that permit request process, you will be asked to submit a copy of your unofficial transcript to confirm that you have completed or are in progress with the correct prerequisites. You will not be able to register for the class until both the permit request and the transcript have been received and reviewed.
Instructions for Submitting a Transcript
See the information below to determine if a transcript is needed as part of your permit request. If so, submit a screenshot or .pdf of your unofficial transcript via email to Daniel Pavlick (daniel.k.pavlick@njit.edu). Your email MUST include "Rutgers Transcript" in the subject line and your NJIT ID number in the body of the message.
- IS 350 Computers, Society & Ethics: The prerequisites for Rutgers students are 1) 21:198:101 or an equivalent introductory programming class, 2) 21:355:101 or equivalent first semester of English Composition, and 3) one 200-level social science, humanities, or history class. Please send a transcript.
- CS 490 Guided Design in Software Engineering: The prerequisites are both CS 280 Programming Language Concepts and CS 288 Intensive Programming in Linux.

Beginning in Fall 2020, one or more sections of CS 490 will be designated specifically for RU-N students.
- CS 491 Senior Project: The prerequisite for this class is CS 490, which is always taken at NJIT. Similarly to CS 490, this class requires senior standing, so you will need to request a "Class Restriction" override.
