Registration for New Students

Students who have been admitted to the graduate program in Statistics and Biostatistics should follow the following steps:

• Monitor the on-line admissions status page to verify your status as an admitted student, and follow up with the graduate program director in case you believe that posting of the decision to admit you has been mistakenly delayed.
• Please verify that your mailing address on file with the admissions office is correct. Your admission packet will be sent to that address.
• Please return the form indicating your intention to enroll at Rutgers. This form will be included in your admission packet.
• Please read the the admission packet, and follow university and graduate school instructions. Housing information should also be included in this packet.
• Plan to arrive in time for the Graduate School-New Brunswick orientation.
• Shortly after your arrival at Rutgers, please make an appointment to see the graduate director to register for classes.
  • You and the graduate director will fill out a form selecting your courses for the first semester. Some Rutgers graduate programs allow for on-line registration for a student's first semester, but our program does not. This form also includes important contact information. The graduate director will not approve more than 12 credits of course work during your initial semester.
  • The Program Secretary will photocopy your form, and keep the copy for our records.
  • Take the original registration form to the Office of the Registrar.
• Many Rutgers services are offered on-line, and people associated with Rutgers have a common identifier and password in order to access these services. The identifier is called a NetID, and may be obtained on line as soon as you are officially registered. Please obtain this as soon as possible.
• See Mayra Howell to arrange for your RUID to open the door to the computer lab.
• Register for parking privileges, if you plan to drive to campus.
