Students in Transition Seminar (STS) and Passport
The Students in Transition Seminars (STS) are one-credit courses that serve as a personal GPS system in order to navigate the University, the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS), and the services that SAS provides.
Course Objectives:
- Help transfer students to make a smooth transition to Rutgers
- Provide the information and self-assessment skills necessary to facilitate successful academic performance and to address developmental needs during the first term
- Begin the development of necessary information technology skills and provide an introduction to the computer resources available at Rutgers
- Provide students with information about the services available at the College that will ensure academic success
- Promote the student's successful connection with the institution academically and socially
Every transfer student will be registered in a transition seminar during their first semester.
