STEP 6: FILLING YOUR ENROLLMENT
SHOPPING CART
A full course load at TCNJ for first semester students
is typically four total classes, which are 1 unit each
(1 unit = 4 credits) in addition to IDS 102 (0 Units).
Your major department will preregister you for
courses that may directly fulfill your major's course
requirements. These preregistered courses will appear
on your PAWS schedule.
Your Shopping Cart and Schedule should contain a
combined total of four units prior to Orientation.
When looking at your Academic Requirements Report
(ARR), please note that requirements are placed under
various categories.
Until a requirement(s) is fulfilled, the category
remains open. Please add courses to your shopping
cart from the open categories on your ARR to
fulfill requirements.
