SUMMER SESSION OFFICE
The Rutgers-Camden Summer Session offers over three hundred day and evening courses through the cooperation of the Camden College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business-Camden, Graduate School-Camden, School of Law-Camden, and School of Social Work.

With relatively small class size, the Summer Session offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate courses suited to many majors and interest areas. Usually courses are offered in four-week segments in the early and late morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. In order to accommodate some laboratory sciences and studio courses, longer and shorter course adaptations are scheduled. Pay careful attention to the particular course description in this catalog.

In addition to the regular collegiate offerings, the campus hosts the Rutgers-Camden Summer Music Festival and the Writers Conference.

The Summer Session Office is located at our new offices at 319 Cooper St., on the second floor. To receive more information or a catalog, you may call us at 856-225-6098. The office is generally open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. When classes are in session during the summer months, we are also open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings until 6:00 p.m.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

CURRENT RUTGERS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Continuing students from any branch of Rutgers University may use the Rutgers Touch-Tone Registration System (RTTRS) or the webreg system beginning on February 25, 2008 for Summer Session registration. Rutgers Students who are not eligible for Touch-Tone Registration may use the Summer Session Registration form available from the Summer Session Office or the Registrar. Either may also use the electronic Application on this website. For RTTRS instructions, see the Instructional RTTRS page or contact the Registrar's Office.

Please note that as of February 2006 the Registrar's Office moved away from using SS Numbers as the Student ID, and will be assigning all existing students a new Rutgers ID number which will be used for all student transactions from that point onward. To find out what your student number is, and for more information about the new ID numbers, see https://identityservices.rutgers.edu/ruidquery.

FORMER RUTGERS STUDENTS
A student who previously attended Rutgers during the regular year, but has missed a semester or two, may still be approved for courses in the Summer Session ONLY. Re-admission for the Fall or Spring requires a separate application process, through the student's regular Dean's Office. Registration begins on February 25. Students may use the electronic Application on this website or the hard copy form available from the Summer Session Office.

NON-RUTGERS STUDENTS

• The student should confirm with his or her college that the selected courses/credits are transferable. Rutgers, the State University, cannot be responsible for the amount or kind of credit granted by other institutions for courses taken at Rutgers.
• Complete the registration form from the catalog, or the Application form on this site, answering all questions. If the student is applying for 300-400 level Business courses or graduate courses, enclose a copy of the most recent transcript. If using the application on this website, you may separately mail or fax 856-225-6524 said transcripts. Transcripts do not have to be "official" sealed transcripts - they are merely to determine your eligibility for a course, not acceptance to the university. Incomplete applications will be returned.
• Send the application (and transcript, if required) to be received in the Summer Session Office by the appropriate deadline (see Calendar for deadline dates).
• If a bill is not received, it is the student's responsibility to contact the Bursar and arrange for payment of the bill by the appropriate deadline. The term bill receipt serves as identification and should be carried at all times. Without identification, students are restricted from using certain facilities.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
In some cases, high-achieving high school junior or senior students may register for Summer Session courses. Enclose with the registration form from the catalog a letter of recommendation from the student's guidance counselor (or other school official), a transcript, and a personal statement of purpose.

SENIOR CITIZENS AUDIT
A New Jersey resident over the age of 62 who wishes to AUDIT a summer course may submit registration and proof of age to the Summer Session Director, who will secure approval from the instructor on a space available basis. Senior citizen audits do not have to pay tuition or fees, but do not receive credit toward a degree for the course. No official records of course attendence are kept. Lab or materials fees and books are the responsibility of the individual.

AUDITING A COURSE
A student may audit a course by entering an "N" in the "Credit Hour Prefix" column at the time of registration. The student is expected to do all the work of the course except the final exam and will be graded "S" or "U". The course and grade appear on the student's transcript. Students selecting the audit registration option must pay the regular tuition and student fee, and any book, lab or materials fees.

PASS/NO CREDIT OPTION
ONLY Rutgers University students may take courses on a P/NC basis, when such registration is in accord with the regulations of their college and the faculty offering the course. Request for the P/NC grading must be made at the time of registration by inserting a P/NC in the "Credit Hour Prefix" column on the application/registration form. Non-graded courses may NOT be applied to the general or major requirements of Rutgers Camden.

SUMMER COURSE LOAD
Because of the intense nature of Summer Session courses, students may carry no more than 4 credits in a 4-week session without special permission of the Camden Summer Director. Requirements for taking an overload:

• 3.0 or better GPA;
• meeting times of the classes must not overlap;
• permission of adviser (Rutgers students);
• permission of Summer Session Director.

• 6.0 credits or more: Full Time
• 3.0-5.9 credits: Half Time (Part Time)
• Less than 3.0 credits: Less Half Time (Part Time)

LATE REGISTRATION
Students who have not completed registration & bill payment by the dates specified in the calendar must submit the registration form and payment in person during the late registration period. Students who register or pay their bill during the late period must pay a $50 late fee. The University is not liable for non-delivery of registration documents, including the term bill, by mail, online or otherwise.

CHANGE OF REGISTRATION & WITHDRAWAL
All changes for non-Rutgers students must be in writing or on a Change of Course Form available in both the Registrar and Summer Session Offices. Be sure to include name of course, all course numbers, including registration index number (5-digit number) on all forms. Students who add or drop courses during the late registration period are required to do so in person and must be prepared to pay at the time of the change of registration.

Once a term has begun, students may change to another available course in the same term within the first two class meetings and retain full tuition, although a $50 late change fee will be incurred. Students changing to a course in another term will be treated as a regular withdrawal, and will be refunded accordingly. After the first two class meetings, refunds will be based upon the Summer Session withdrawal policy. Students who withdraw from a class after the term begins will receive a "W" grade on the transcript. Students who stop attending classes and do not officially withdraw will receive a failing grade on the transcript. Non-payment does not constitute a withdrawal from class. All withdrawals must be officially conducted, either submitted in writing to the Registrar's Office or through the RTTRS system by the appropriate date. Verbal withdrawals, either in person or by phone, are not acceptable. E-Mail is considered a form of written communication for the purposes of this policy and will be accepted as an official means of withdrawal communication.

Withdrawal from a course is not permitted during the last seven calendar days of any course (week long summer courses are at the discretion of the Summer Session Director).

Rutgers University reserves the right to restrict registration in any course or program and to cancel courses as necessary. Students will be informed of course cancellations as soon as possible. Students will receive full refunds for cancelled courses. Late change fees will be waived for a course change due to a cancelled course.

PAYMENT PROCEDURES

TERM BILL AND PAYMENT OF FEES
All students, must submit a term bill to the Bursar's Office before attending class. Students with loans, grants and scholarships must include a letter from the funding agency to the Bursar stating that the financial grant/loan is approved and available for Summer 2008 courses. The Office of the Bursar is comprised of Student Accounting, Cashier, and Debit Card Management. It is located at 329 Cooper St., Camden, NJ 08102. Email: bursar@camden.rutgers.edu or call 856-225-6021.

If the student has not received a bill 15 days before the beginning of the scheduled class, it is his or her responsibility to contact the Bursar's Office to arrange for payment either in person or otherwise. Payment of all tuition and fees must be made according to the dates specified in the Summer Session Calendar. Not receiving a bill will not waive late fees or other financial responsibilites.

Students are responsible for the course tuition unless they officially drop the course by the appropriate deadline, regardless of whether they attend the class. Students who do not pay for their courses by the deadlines will NOT be eligible to receive either a grade or credit for the course and will be removed from class.

Checks should be made payable to Rutgers, The State University. Payment must be made either in person or by mail to the Bursar's Office before deadlines (see CALENDAR). Any bill paid during the late registration period must be paid in person and must include a $50 late registration fee. The date on which the cashier receives the bill payment is the effective date of payment. Postmark dates will NOT be considered as payment dates. Partial payments are not permitted. Returned checks incur a $50 late fee and a $10 return check fee. We accept the following for payment of tuition: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cash, check and money order.

STUDENT IDENTIFICATION
The term bill receipt serves as Summer Session identification, though a normal Student ID card may be obtained from the Campus Center at the IMPACT booth. Either should be carried and presented upon request. Some campus facilities (Gymnasium, Library, Computer Labs) require some form of Student ID for admittance, and a Student ID card is required to borrow books from the library and to obtain a university computer account.

It is suggested that all students acquire a RU Net ID (an email account) as they then can access their records on the computer (including grades), and will receive all informational emails including the "freebies" offered by the Student Affairs Office. Students may create their own account by accessing the Rutgers Computing Services page, and following the instructions there.

PARKING
Parking permits are available from the Parking Department, 409 N. 4th St, in the lobby of the Campus Police. A completed application as well as the Motor Vehicle Registration (copy accepted) is required. Parking fees are $40 per session or $70 for the summer. There are no refunds for summer parking. Night Student hangtags may be exchanged with a $30 fee for a Summer Sessions permit that allows summer daytime parking. Parking in lots without a valid permit will result in a $50 fine and towing and/or $50 booting fee.

FINANCIAL AID
See also the OFFICE OF FINANCIAL AID.

Application Process
Students must apply online at www.studentaid.rutgers.edu. Students needing assistance can come to the financial aid office during regular office hours. Students must be registered for the credits indicated on their application before processing can continue. Only currently matriculated Rutgers students can be considered for assistance.

Direct Loans

Please note that Pell Grant rules will be changing for academic year 2006.

Other Scholarships
Students who wish to use outside scholarships to attend Summer Session must obtain a letter from the funding agency stating that the financial grant is available for Summer 2008 courses.

New Jersey State Aid
The State of New Jersey does not offer any scholarships or grants for summer courses.

Financial Aid Refund Checks
Student should check with the Bursar’s Office for information concerning the disbursement of their refund checks. Students should plan ahead for the purchase of books, supplies and other expenses, as refunds checks often are not available immediately at the start of each summer term.

STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT THEIR FUNDING APPROVAL WITH THEIR TERM BILL TO THE CASHIER BEFORE APPLICABLE DEADLINES.

REFUND POLICY
Read this carefully! This policy will be strictly observed.
To receive a full refund of tuition and the refundable portion of the Summer Session Student Fee (late fees are not refundable), students must cancel their registration either through the RTTRS system or in writing prior to the first day of classes. If the RTTRS system is unable to withdraw you from the class, then the withdrawal must be performed in writing. It is the student's responsibility to verify that the class has been deleted from their schedule. Signed withdrawal forms must be turned into the registrar's office in order to be processed.

The last day to withdraw from a course with a 50% refund of tuition and a "W" grade will be in accordance with the refund dates in the Summer Session Calendar. No refund will be granted after those dates. NO WITHDRAWAL WILL BE PERMITTED DURING THE LAST CALENDAR WEEK OF ANY CLASS (courses that run for only one week will be under the descretion Summer Session Director). The effective date of withdrawal is the date on which a written statement of withdrawal is received by the Registrar or by the RTTRS System.

Graduate: 4.5 credits or more=FT (Full-Time); 3.0 to 4.4 credits =3/4T (Three-Quarter Time); 2.0 to 2.9 credits = HT (Half-Time); and less than 2.0 = less than Half-Time.
