Preparing for Enrollment

Congratulations! 

Now that you have been admitted, here are your next steps:

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 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:

• Creating and activating your NetID, the credential used to access all Rutgers programs and systems
• Signing up for placement testing (Note that based off of prior coursework, your placement test may be waived. To view how your credits have transferred over to RU-N, please review your transfer credit evaluation)
• 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

COVID 19 Policy

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.

• Students who accept admission to Rutgers on or after December 1, 2022 must upload evidence of immunization to the Rutgers Student Immunization portal as soon as the vaccination series is completed and no later 7 calendar days after their acceptance date.
• Students accepted on or after December 1, 2022 who wish to request a medical or religious exemption must submit their request, via Rutgers' Student Immunization portal, no later than 7 calendar days after their acceptance date. Information on the exemption request process is located on the myRUN COVID 19 Vaccination page.
• Students (new and returning) who are not compliant with the University Policy 10.3.14 will not be permitted to register for Spring 2023 courses.

Browse the Academic Catalog

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.
