DCIM - Request Special Permission Numbers (SPN)
SPN requests are available for certain (but not all) Digital Communication, Information, and Media courses.
Digital Communication, Information, and Media SPN Rules and FAQ
Though DCIM courses may close during preregistration, additional seats and sections will be opened throughout the registration period. It is very important to monitor Webreg for openings.
Please do not request an SPN for a course that is still open. SPNs are not issued on a first-come-first-serve basis and will only be approved after all other options have been exhausted. Priority will be given to graduating seniors.
Requests for asynchronous sections of any DCIM courses will not be considered while open hybrid sections are available.
Sections of Virtual Team Dynamics and Structure of Information that are reserved for incoming first year students may not be requested by continuing students. Requests for these sections will be denied.
You must declare the DCIM minor and complete at least four DCIM courses before submitting a request for the DCIM Capstone.
Requesting an SPN does not guarantee admission into a closed course, regardless of class year. Accommodations may be made when space is available and may not be into your first-choice course or section.
All granted SPNs must be retrieved and used within 48 hours. Unused SPNs will expire and be returned to the pool to be redistributed. Students may not hold on to SPNs for later use or transfer them to other students.
Please email spns@sci.rutgers.edu if you have any questions.
