Dear TCNJ Student,
Congratulations on your outstanding academic achievements and
welcome to The College of New Jersey (TCNJ). We embrace the talents
you will bring to the campus and expect that you will be an active and
contributing citizen of our community. We look forward to assisting you
in fulfilling your educational goals.
The purpose of this booklet is to introduce you to the tools that will
facilitate your initial scheduling and course enrollment. You will find
useful information to help guide you through our Primary Academic Web
Services information system, known to the campus community as PAWS.
In addition, you will learn about your academic requirements report and a
step-by-step process for loading your class selections to your PAWS
Shopping Cart.
Following the directions in this booklet will successfully prepare you for
your Orientation program. Please review the Placement Testing criteria,
familiarize yourself with TCNJ's Web Tools, and review your academic
requirements report in preparation for selecting and entering classes into
your Shopping Cart. This will be time well spent in easing your transition
to the College. Please visit our Register the Pride website
http://firstreg.pages.tcnj.edu/
for all your enrollment needs.
As you embark on this new journey, the staff in the Office of Records and
Registration looks forward to working with you now and throughout your
career at TCNJ.
Best Wishes,
Frank Cooper
Executive Director
The Office of Records and Registration
