Welcome, Our New Scarlet Knights to Rutgers!
The mission of Student Orientation and Transition Programs is to welcome, prepare, and engage new students in their transition to Rutgers University-New Brunswick. You will have an opportunity to learn about tools and resources available to you as a Rutgers student, tips and strategies to best navigate the campus, and connect with other new students and student leaders.
How to Register for Orientation
Registration for summer 2025 orientation will go live April 2025.
What Can You Expect
Transfer students will complete an asynchronous online orientation program where they will hear from Rutgers students, learn about the Rutgers campus, resources available, and ways to connect with the campus community. Students will also be invited to attend an optional in-person Transfer Student Experience Day. Online orientation will be available via your myRutgers dashboard starting May 1.
Academic Sessions
Academic sessions are separate from student orientation. Transfer students will participate in a STAR Day program through their school of enrollment. For questions about your STAR Day, you can find your school's academic contact here.
Accommodations
We want to ensure that everyone is able to fully participate in our Orientation experience. If there are questions and/or concerns about the method(s) of delivering content, please do not hesitate to contact us at transition@echo.rutgers.edu.
