New Student Survey & FAQs | New Student Newsletter Issue 04

Issue No. 04
Thursday, July 11, 2024

As we get closer to the start of your first semester at Rutgers University in Camden, we want to get to know you a little better. If you’ve been checking your myRutgers dashboard for your enrollment steps, you’ve probably seen an important required item: Submit College Student Inventory Survey.

This survey for incoming Rutgers–Camden students helps us learn more about you, your goals, and how we can help you succeed! The deadline to complete this survey is July 31st or 4 weeks after you’ve accepted your offer of admission (whichever date is later). Once you’re done the survey, be sure to check it off on your My Enrollment checklist by clicking “Launch Full List”. While you’re there, you can review your other items.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

To continue to get you acclimated to the Scarlet Raptor family, we’ve answered the most common questions that we get from new students below. And if you still have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Office of Admissions by emailing admissions@camden.rutgers.edu or calling 856-225-6104.

How will you contact me?
Your Rutgers ScarletMail account can be accessed through your myRutgers dashboard after your NetID has been set up. Your Rutgers email will be the primary way you are contacted as a student.

What is my RUID?
Your RUID is a unique 9-digit identification number that you will use during your time as a Rutgers student. This can also be found on your myRutgers dashboard.

When will I get my class schedule for the fall?
You will register for courses with your advisor. The process will differ based on your school and program, so sign up for SOAR on your myRutgers dashboard and watch your email for more information. Contact admissions@camden.rutgers.edu with any questions.

When will I have to pay tuition?
Term bills are typically generated in mid-July only after you’ve registered for classes. Check out the Office of Student Accounting, Billing, and Cashier Services for information on how to view and read your term bill online along with various payment options.
