Resources
Rutgers–New Brunswick is striving to make the transition to CourseAtlas as smooth as possible for all course scheduling stakeholders.
Please review the information below to learn more about the resources that are available as part of the CourseAtlas project.
Training Sessions
The Office of Academic Scheduling and Instructional Space has offered three rounds of training sessions as part of the CourseAtlas testing and simulation. Below please find information about the fourth round of training sessions. If you are a departmental faculty administrator or scheduling staff member and you have not yet attended a full CourseAtlas training yet, please sign up in order to gain access to CourseAtlas.
All training sessions are offered in the Rutgers Academic Building computer lab, room 1220, on the College Avenue Campus.
The training schedule is available on the Course Scheduling - NB Sakai page (NetID login required). If you don't have access to this site, you can complete an Office of Academic Scheduling and Instructional Space Access Form (PDF).
Full CourseAtlas Training (3 hours)
The Full CourseAtlas Training covers all aspects of the scheduling process in the new system.
- Current access to the Course Scheduling System (CSS) is required in order to attend the training. Or, for those new to scheduling, please fill out the OSSM Access Form (PDF).
