1. The first step is usually to run  Degree Navigator to check your courses and requirements.  You should print out the results and bring them to your advisor if you wish personal help. Go to:  http://dnadvisor.rutgers.edu/.
2. Our CJ advising page for students with some pointers: http://sociology.camden.rutgers.edu/advising-cj.htm
3. CJ major requirements: http://sociology.camden.rutgers.edu/major.htm#cjmaj
4. Sociology and double major requirements can be found further along on the same page.  For a double major, use the Double Major Work Sheet at http://sociology.camden.rutgers.edu/Double_major_Form.pdf
   
5. Degree Navigator is a help, but it is not definitive and often makesw mistakes with transfer courses even from othe Rutgers campuses.  The definitive source is the Rutgers transcript.   To see actual transcripts): https://www.acs.rutgers.edu/admgrades
6. Another useful too is Artsys (to look up transfer courses on occasion): https://www.njtransfer.org/artweb/chgri.cgi
7. Information about course availability can be found through the Registrar's Office at http://registrar.rutgers.edu/CMINDEX.HTM.  Open "class schedule" and "online schedule" for the latest information. 
   
8. To actually add courses, click on Registration-WebReg.  It is best to enroll as early in possible in order to hold a place, otherwise a course may fill.  You can easily drop through the first week. 
   
9. If a course is filled, you can try getting a "special permission number" from the Department Secretary or from the instructor 
   

For those of you who are graduating in May, please remember that the deadline for filing for a May 2008 degree is Friday, February 15. A diploma application accompanied by a Degree Navigator report (general and major requirements) which has been signed by a faculty advisor must be submitted to the Office of Academic Advising.  Approved minor forms are also turned in with the diploma application.  The Senior web page http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/seniors has additional information.

If you do not know who your advisor is, a list is available on our homepage:  http://sociology.camden.rutgers.edu/index.html

If for some reason you are unable to print out the Degree Navigator report, you may utilize the curriculum worksheets we used before DN was implemented. You must fill them in before you go to see your advisor for senior review.  Bring in worksheets for both your general education and major requirements.  Worksheets are available in our office, the dean's office on the second floor of Armitage or on-line at http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/RUCAM/studentaffairs/studserv_checklist.html

If you are a double major in CJ and Soc, you should definitely use the worksheet, not Degree Navigator, and fill it out before you come in for your senior review.  A link to it is available here:  http://sociology.camden.rutgers.edu/doublemaj.htm.  You can bring in the Degree Navigator report for your general education requirements.
