First-Year Student Orientation
The mission of Student Orientation and Transition Programs is to welcome and develop students to thrive in their transition to and through Rutgers–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. Below are the dates for our first-year student orientation. Sessions are two-day, overnight, and broken down by academic school. Students will meet with their academic advising unit at orientation.
