If you previously attended Rutgers University and would like to return to the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) at Rutgers New Brunswick, you may be eligible to apply for reenrollment. This includes students returning to SAS after an interruption in enrollment and former students of another Rutgers school who wish to enroll at SAS. Once your application is received, SAS will review your previous enrollment and academic record to determine your eligibility. Additional information or an advising appointment may be required depending on your academic history. Admission is not guaranteed, and an official decision will be provided after your application has been reviewed.
