Schedule of Classes: the public source of offerings

Rutgers’ Schedule of Classes lists courses and sections offered for a selected term. Use it to confirm the official details of a section and to look up registration indexes.

Course Schedule Planner: compare Rutgers schedule options

Rutgers describes its Course Schedule Planner as a tool to build, compare, review, and register schedules for available semesters. It includes catalog search, automated schedule generation, filtering, a wish list, and WebReg integration.

WebReg: the official registration system

WebReg is where eligible Rutgers students add, drop, or change classes. Your registration eligibility, section restrictions, and official academic record are determined there—not by a third-party planner.

Where Scarlet Sync fits

Scarlet Sync is an independent Rutgers planning tool. It can help you explore classes, generate and compare schedules, reason about prerequisites and degree progress, and prepare alternatives. Always confirm official data and register through WebReg.

Frequently asked questions

Is Scarlet Sync an official Rutgers product?

No. Scarlet Sync is independent. Rutgers’ Schedule of Classes, Course Schedule Planner, WebReg, and advising resources remain the official sources.

Which system should I use to register?

Use WebReg. Planning tools can help you prepare, but Rutgers registration is completed in WebReg.
