STEP 6: HOW TO BUILD YOUR
SCHEDULE
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 filled, the
category remains open. Please add courses from the
open categories on your ARR to fulfill requirements.
