^ 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 within two weeks of 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" site displays updates as 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dates for credentials submission have passed will be withdrawn from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.
