^ Applying to Rutgers by our fall early action date does not restrict students from applying to other colleges or universities, and Rutgers early action decisions are not binding.
* Required credentials are due later than the Application Due Date. (For more information, please see the credentials required of first year applicants or the credentials required of transfer applicants.) The "Your Rutgers Status" displays updates after required credentials are received.
+ Students may apply after due dates have passed. However, students who apply after the due dates or whose files remain incomplete after due dates for credentials submission have passed will be withdrawn from admissions consideration if their school(s) of application meet enrollment goals before University Undergraduate Admissions reviews their applications.
** Admissions decisions will be posted online via "Your Rutgers Status" no later than this date, except for Mason Gross School of the Arts. Because of the unique nature of the talent assessment process for portfolios and auditions, Early Action and Regular Action notification dates do not apply for applicants to Mason Gross School of the Arts. Mason Gross School of the Arts Fall 2013 applicants will be notified of admissions decisions by April 1, 2013.
