Special Permission Numbers

In the event, you are unable to register for one of the HRM classes, know that we withhold seats from each of the HRM on-campus courses for this purpose. These seats are only available with a special permission number and they are limited. Special permission numbers are NOT available for HRM online courses. It should be noted that the HRM faculty do not have access to the special permission numbers. Please DO NOT email the HRM faculty for special permission numbers as it will only delay your request. If a section should fill up and you need a number, then you should email HRSPN@smlr.rutgers.edu for all Special Permission Number Requests. We will either issue a number to you or if the class is filled to room capacity, will put your name on a waiting list. Should the need to maintain a waiting list occur, declared majors and minors will be pushed to the top of the list immediately. Further priority will be given according to the graduation date. Every effort will be made to allow as many of you as possible to obtain the classes you want and need. However, I do want to stress that we can only issue as many numbers as there are available seats/slots within the classrooms. Class size is determined by the RU Scheduling Department and we have to schedule only to the published room capacities. Some other things to keep in mind:

• We can only issue SPNs for Human Resource Management Courses (37-533).
• Special permission numbers for Labor Studies Courses (37-575) are issued only through the Labor Studies Department via email at sp@smlr.rutgers.edu.

Preparing for Preregistration

We encourage you to review your current record and to visit with your program advisors to make sure you are on track with the general requirements and those for any of the major(s) and/or minor(s) you have. Degree Navigator can at times be confusing and it is best to find out now if there is a problem rather than later. If you are expecting to graduate in May 2027, it will be important that you review all of your programs and verify whether or not the plans you have for the next semester will be sufficient to put you in a position to graduate. HRM Majors and HRM Minors should consult Grace Tien or Joy Montuoro, Student Counselor, for verification of their record with the HRM Department. DO NOT take for granted that everything will “fall in line” or that extensions will be made. To reiterate our policy, the HRM Department only accepts grades of “C” or better in courses that apply to the HRM Major. Also, HRM Professors will not extend extra credit opportunities beyond what is stated in the course syllabi.
