Conditions of Enrollment for International Students

When you enroll at Rutgers, you will need to understand the conditions under which you have been admitted and complete each of the items below.

• Acknowledge your admission and tell us whether you will enroll through your Rutgers Application Portal by December 7, 2026, or within one week of your admission notification, whichever is later.

• Submit the $150 enrollment fee through your Application Portal.

• Request that your college registrar or school counselor submit final official transcripts of all coursework you have completed as soon as your current semester courses are completed and all grades are recorded. Official transcripts from any college attended are required. 2026 and 2027 high school graduates must submit a final official high school transcript showing all courses, marks, and leaving examination results. Final official records must include certification of any diplomas or degrees, and should be sent as soon as they are available, but no later than January 7, 2027. You can review the instructions for sending final official transcripts.

• Note: Your enrollment at Rutgers is contingent upon satisfactory completion, with no significant decline in grades, of all academic work still in progress when your application was reviewed, and that all information provided on your application was complete and true. This includes earning your high school diploma or equivalent documentation. When you accept our offer of admission, we will review your file to verify that all of your required transcripts have been received and are official. If your final official records are not received and/or are not consistent with the records with which you were admitted, your admission may be rescinded.

• Review and comply with the Rutgers Code of Student Conduct.

• Follow all instructions about placement testing, registration, and orientation requirements. Information about these important steps will be communicated to you later and will be available through myRutgers once you activate your NetID, accept an offer of admission, and pay the enrollment fee.

• Meet all enrollment provisions outlined in your Conditions of Enrollment and myRutgers within the indicated timeframes. You are responsible for making sure that we receive all required credentials. Please use your Rutgers Application Portal and myRutgers to track your progress through these and all other required steps to enrollment.

• All immunization documentation must be uploaded directly to your Student Immunization Portal. You can find the link to the Student Immunization Portal on the Immunization Requirements webpage. All enrolling students are required to submit immunization documentation by December 1, 2026. If you accept our offer of admission after this date, you must submit your records within seven calendar days of accepting our offer. An overview of health & immunization requirements is available on the Immunization Requirements webpage.

• Review the Rutgers I-20 process and financial documentation needed to study on the F-1 visa. We encourage students to apply for their I-20 as soon as possible after accepting their offer of admission.

Additional Conditions for All Transfer Students

• For transfer credit consideration, colleges in the U.S. where your courses were completed must be accredited by one of the major regional accrediting authorities recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. They are Middle States (MSCHE), New England (NECHE), Northwest (NWCCU), Southern (SACSCOC), Western (WSCUC & ACCJC), and The Higher Learning Commission (HLC).

• If your university transcript is in a language other than English, please have it evaluated by a NACES-approved translation service, such as World Education Services (WES), so that your chosen Rutgers school can begin your credit evaluation. You can contact the RU International team with further questions.

Most official documentation can be sent electronically. If official documentation must be mailed, please send all required enrollment credentials to:
