GRADUATE STUDENT COURSES
Click on the + to open the section.
Special permission numbers are required for closed courses if space is available. For closed courses, the numbers can only be released to a student once they have received written approval to register from the professor teaching the class (email approval will suffice). That needs to be communicated to Graduate Program Student Coordinator at grad@ejb.rutgers.edu in order to obtain the graduate course special permission number.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT COURSES
Click on the + to open the section.
Overview
There are four kinds of special requests students will need to submit to the Bloustein School in order to enroll in certain courses. Only one of those requests is a Special Permission Number (“SPN”) request to be made through the “Bloustein Special Permission Number System LOGIN” section at the bottom of this page:
- Majors Only Courses: Admission to independent study, honors research, “majors only,” and courses that indicate “Department Staff,” (including Research Methods, Data Management in Health Care, Leadership Seminar, all Internship courses, and Senior Seminar) require SPNs.
These three other special requests are not made via the SPN system, but rather should be directed to: undergrad@ejb.rutgers.edu with a detailed explanation of the basis of the request. Please be sure to include your RUID in your email.
- Prerequisite Overrides: Admission to courses for which the prerequisites have been satisfied in a different method than what is posted on the scheduling system may require a prerequisite override.
- Corequisite Authorization: In some cases, a lower-level course may be a pre- or corequisite course to a higher-level course (i.e., you must have taken the lower-level course prior to [prerequisite] or simultaneously with [corequisite] the higher-level course. Preauthorized corequisite courses are stated on the Schedule of Courses.
- Closed Sections: Course instructors are NOT permitted to grant access to a closed section for any reason. For greater detail on when enrollment in a closed section may be permitted, see the drop-down section below entitled “Closed Sections.”
Process for Requesting an SPN:
Unlike other Rutgers-New Brunswick campus schools, the Bloustein School has centralized the issuance of SPNs; course instructors are NOT permitted to issue an SPN for any reason.
SPNs for Bloustein School courses (School 10) may only be requested via the automated system described below and accessed at the bottom of this page under the drop-down entitled “Bloustein Special Permission Number System LOGIN.”
Please review these guidelines, which are designed to help you best organize your course schedule:
- First, please request an SPN for two or more sections of a course.
- Second, do not submit requests for conflicting course sections.
- Third, please note: When you receive an email informing you that your request has been granted, you have 24 hours to register under that SPN number. If you do not register during that 24-hour period, the SPN will expire and you will have to reapply.
- Fourth, SPNs are student-specific; you may not “gift” your SPN to another student; the SPN will not be functional for anyone other than you.
- Fifth, unless specifically stated on WebReg/Schedule of Classes that the section requires special permission by department staff, open online courses do not require a SPN.
If you are planning to enroll in the Bloustein Honors Research or Independent Study courses, there is a requisite form that can be obtained from the Office of Student and Academic Services. The form needs to be completed and submitted to undergrad@ejb.rutgers.edu (or your assigned major advisor) prior to receiving a special permission number.
When filling out the form, make sure you give a detailed description of your research project. Requests will be processed as long as the signed consent form with project summary has been submitted.
A student who is unable to register for a course because he or she lacks the proper prerequisites should not request a special permission number via the system. Under some circumstances, for example, if the student has taken the appropriate prerequisite course(s) at Rutgers or another institution, but webreg is not recognizing the course, then the student should contact the Office of Student and Academic Services at undergrad@ejb.rutgers.edu for assistance.
Similarly, students requiring a prerequisite override because they are taking the lower-level course as a preauthorized corequisite, should also contact undergrad@ejb.rutgers.edu for assistance.
Please be sure to include your RUID in your email.
Because of the high demand for many of the Bloustein School courses, many are filled early in the registration sequence. Students should first attempt to register through the Rutgers Web Registration System.
If all sections that the student’s schedule can accommodate are closed, the student should first monitor the schedule of classes to see if it reopens. Students who can take a different course to fulfill the requirement, or students who can take the course in a future semester will be directed to do so.
Under certain circumstances, permission to be added to a closed section may be granted. Pending enrollment capacity, these students may be considered for enrollment in a closed section:
- newly admitted EJB direct-admit students registering for your first semester;
- newly admitted joint degree students (SAS or SEBS) who have declared an EJB major;
- declared EJB majors with greater than 90 credits intending to graduate within the next two semesters;
- Rutgers @ Brookdale Community College, or, Rutgers @ Mercer County Community College students who have declared as a public health major; and, Rutgers @ Atlantic Cape Community College students who have declared as a health administration major; and,
- other EJB or joint degree major, minor, or certificate students who demonstrate authentic extenuating circumstances.
If you meet the one of the above conditions, requests for enrollment in a closed section should be directed to Office of Student and Academic Services at undergrad@ejb.rutgers.edu. Please be sure to include your RUID in your email.
Effective Fall 2022, we have a waitlist form for our most popular courses. Students can learn more and submit the form here: https://bloustein.rutgers.edu/courses/special-permission-numbers/closed-course-spn-waitlist/
Matriculating undergraduates (current degree-seeking students) should request special permission for “majors only” or special courses (listed above in the General Information section) using the automated special permission system described below. Please view the rounds listed in the below drop down for times that the system opens, closes, and when numbers are issued.
Non-matriculated undergraduate students (non-degree students) should request special permission for admission to classes by contacting the Office of Student and Academic Services at undergrad@ejb.rutgers.edu. These requests will be reviewed as they are received.
The automated SPN system will be available for summer registration starting on February 8, 2023.

Who Can Use the Online Special Permission System?
Matriculating undergraduates who wish to get special permission to enter “majors only” or special courses (see General Information tab) offered by the Bloustein School should use the web-based system.
How Do I Login?
Students need to use their NetID and password to access the online special permission system. Students using this system DO NOT need to have their own computer accounts or e-mail addresses. They only need access to the web which is available on all campuses.
Students should submit requests for multiple sections of a course (ranking most preferred first) for best outcome. Please do not submit requests for conflicting course sections. If you receive an email informing you that your request has been granted, you have 24 hours to utilize the number.
