Preparing for Enrollment
In This Section
LOG IN TO THE ENROLLMENT PATHWAY
We have created a virtual checklist to help you complete the important tasks that are essential for your success. To access the checklist, log in to the myRutgers Portal, click on the "myEnrollment" widget and click on the bottom of the widget to gain access to the Enrollment Pathway, which you can access once you complete the Admit Coming status on your Admitted Student screen. Then you can begin to move through the New Student Checklist, which can help you with the following tasks:
- Creating and activating your NetID, the credential used to access all Rutgers programs and systems
- Signing up for placement testing
- Being assigned a date for orientation or registration, known as Student Orientation, Advisement, and Registration Day (SOAR)
- Reaching out to a number of offices within Student Affairs, including the Office of Veteran Affairs, the Office of Disability Services, the Office of Student Health, and the Office of Housing and Residence Life
NEED HELP? If you or your family members have questions about the New Student Checklist, Admit Coming items on the Admitted Student screen, or the Enrollment Pathway in general, please call the Office of Admissions at (973) 353-5205 and/or send an email to newark@admissions.rutgers.edu.
SIGN UP FOR SOAR
Placement testing and SOAR Information
Sign up for Student Orientation, Advisement, and Registration (SOAR) Day, a one-day in-person program designed to welcome new students. Your SOAR day will include meeting new friends, learning about campus resources, and registering for fall courses with the assistance of an academic advisor. SOAR sign-ups are available through the Enrollment Pathway. You can access the Enrollment Pathway by logging into the myRutgers portal and clicking on the "My Enrollment" widget and clicking on the bottom of the widget to obtain access to the Enrollment Pathway.
