Requirements, Considerations, and Approval Process

  • Only matriculated Rutgers graduate students in good academic standing (i.e., GPA > 3.0) are eligible for MBS courses.
  • Do not contact the course instructor for permission to enroll in the course. All SPN requests require review and approval by MBS Graduate Director.
  • Submission of an SPN request does NOT guarantee you a spot in the course. Final approval is by the Rutgers MBS Graduate Director ONLY.
  • Requests will be reviewed 2 weeks prior to the start of the semester. Students are encouraged to have a backup course/plan.
  • If approved, the student will be emailed the special permission number from ReqSPN@docs.Rutgers.edu.
  • If not approved, the student will be notified before the semester starts.
