FAQ Detail
What is the difference between New Student Orientation (NSO) and STAR DAY? Are they the same?
- FAQ Type: Transfer General
- FAQ Response:
NO! They are not the same! At NSO, "you will have the opportunity to become familiar with campus resources and make connections with current students, faculty, and staff before beginning classes." NSO is not an academic orientation, but is a great and informative program and we highly recommended that you attend to learn about all-things-Rutgers! All your housing, dining, financial aid, parking and ID needs are covered during NSO. There are several formats and sessions for transfer students only. Please access the Enrollment Pathway to view your options.
STAR Day IS mandatory and you are required to attend and stay for the full-day program in order to register for your classes.
