<p>So, as a freshman, I get my schedule made by Rutgers for the first semester. Great. Or it would be, if I actually wanted the classes they gave me. I went on the schedule planner and came up with one that I am more-or-less happy with. Now what?
I know that the add/drop starts on Sept. 2nd, but how exactly does this happen? I don't want to drop all my courses and end up with nothing.
How does the process work? And who do I call if I have questions? </p>

<p>You’ll be able to access the online registration (webreg) to change your schedule around, so you won’t have to drop everything, you can drop one thing and add another, and so on!</p>

<p>Nice! thank you :slight_smile:
What if the class I want is already full or something (I’m really worried about that lol)? Should I make multiple schedule plans just in case?
Also, do I have to go to the classes that I want to drop before I get the chance to drop them? I guess it’s college, so I don’t have to do anything, but still…</p>

<p>If a class is full you can <em>sometimes</em> get special permission from the department, but honestly most classes don’t offer it. DEFINITELY have plenty of back up courses you want to take…research as many as you can now so you have an idea. </p>

<p>You should go to the classes because you might end up keeping them if you can’t get into anything you want. It’s a difficult situation because if a class you want is at the same time, you have to decide if you want to go to the class you have, or the class you want to take.</p>

<p>When the time comes to add/drop, have the class names, times and index numbers you want written down clearly so you don’t have to go searching around for numbers. Also, if a class you want is full, keep checking all throughout the add/drop period because things will become available for a short time and vanish.</p>

<p>Are we allowed to drop one class and register for the same class held at another campus? Most of my classes are on Livingston and I wanted to register for an open Expos section there, instead of expos on College Ave as shown on my schedule.</p>

<p>if you just want to switch sections, you don’t have to drop it first. just add the new section and it automatically drops your old one. this is for the same course but different sections only</p>
