Welcome, Our New Scarlet Knights to Rutgers!
The mission of Student Orientation and Transition Programs is to welcome and develop students to thrive in their transition to and through 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.
Spring 2026 Orientation registration is now open on the MyRutgers dashboard.
Course Registration
Course Registration is 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. Learn more about our universal accommodations at orientation at transition.rutgers.edu/accommodations.
