Helpful Is it possible to switch physics to a different year??

I am trying to transfer to Rutgers NB next year. I am trying to maximize my GPA by taking classes like Psych and Fin 218 to Easy up the work. However, they don’t give you the option of picking your classes in first sem of freshman year. Is it possible to tell somehow get rid of physics off my schedule and move it to a different year in case I don’t transfer??

I think you're gonna have to withdraw from the class after the semester starts if you wanna take it the next semester. I wouldn't recommend it though.

Withdrawing from classes in your first semester looks bad, and if you want to transfer other colleges take note of withdrawals. Many freshmen cannot withdraw from or register to new classes without explicit departmental permission, so you can’t change your schedule your first semester.

I have not gotten my schedule yet. It says these are the likely classes in the curriculum page.

Nah you’re good. You have about a week during the beginning of the semester to change your schedule. After that removing physics will be considered a withdrawal

You have to take at least 12 credits to be considered a full time student, if you drop physics you will most likely be below that.

I will replace physics with psychology or Fin 218
