Enrollment Next Steps

Things to Consider Prior to Registration

Rutgers University credits are regularly transferred to many other colleges; however, most colleges require prior approval of transfer credits. Therefore, you should check the transferability of each course with the appropriate official from your college before you register.

Please do not send approval forms to Rutgers. Rutgers cannot guarantee the amount or kind of credit which will be granted by another institution for any course taken at Rutgers. Students are responsible for requesting a transcript to be sent to their home institution or future home institution.

All visiting students also have access to Rutgers Resources including student services, libraries, computer labs, learning centers while enrolled in Winter Session.

Winter Visiting Student FAQs

All faculty, staff, students, and guests are assigned a Rutgers unique identifier known as a NetID, comprised of initials and a unique number (e.g. jqs23). In order to access many of the electronic services available to you at Rutgers, you need to activate your Rutgers NetID at netid.rutgers.edu using your assigned RUID that you will receive after filling out the Visiting Student Registration Form.

Your assigned NetID will appear on the activation screen. The NetID will enable you to open an email and computer account, view course materials and your grades online, and access other services. We encourage you to create a Rutgers email address so your email address appears on an enrollment roster and in the online directory.
