After you enter your information into Transfer Academic Credit System (TrAC) and an academic advisor reviews your information, you can review your transfer credit evaluation to see how your courses and credits from your past college/university have transferred to Rutgers University–Newark. To help you understand the details of the transfer evaluation report, we have created an example transfer evaluation report.
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 Enrollment Pathway portal, 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:
Students admitted and registered for Spring 2023 are required under Policy 10.3.14 to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and booster (when eligible) unless they have received a medical or religious exemption approved in writing by Rutgers’ Waiver Review Committee or are exempt from the Policy for any of the other reasons listed in the Policy. Learn more by visiting the myRUN COVID 19 Vaccination page.
SOAR/Placement testing updates per COVID-19
Sign up for Student Orientation, Advisement, and Registration (SOAR) Day, a one-day 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.
NEED HELP? If you or your family members have questions, please send an email to SOAR@newark.rutgers.edu.

The Rutgers University–Newark Academic Catalog is an essential tool for new students.
The catalog contains information on the core curriculum requirements, major and minor requirements, academic policies and procedures, and important office information. Beyond the academic catalog, you can access vital information at myRUN.newark.rutgers.edu, and each undergraduate school/college has specific staff that assist and support transfer students.
