Below is a partial list of administrative chores to do before the
semester begins. You can do most
of them any time during the week of August 22-26, or August 30 or August 31.
- International students Check in at the International Center on the College Avenue campus. Attend workshops as necessary (such as the Employment Workshop to learn about I-9 and W4 forms and to apply for a social security card). You also should find out about ESL (English as a Second Language) and TA training meetings.
- All students
- Check your department mailbox in Hill 315. You may also have a personal mailbox in the post office, but you are responsible for mail in your department mailbox.
- Tuition remission cards will be in your department mailbox by 8/29.
- See Risa Hynes in Hill 322 for a computer account.
- See Justin Gross in Hill 326 to have your picture taken. (This is for the department only; you will need to have your picture taken elsewhere for your Rutgers ID).
- See Colette Claiborne in Hill 346 for a key to your office (you will need to give a five dollar deposit).
- If you have a TA appointment please see Lynn Braun in Hill 311 and give her your payroll papers and learn about the Health Benefits workshop (and then turn in your health benefits papers to Ms. Braun).
- If you are a Fellow turn in paperwork to Lynn Braun in Hill 311.
- You will also need to register for classes. After registering for classes you will need to get your term bill. To pay your term bill you will need a Tuition remission card mentioned above. The process of registering and paying bills will be covered at the university wide orientation for new students. If you have additional questions about this, you can ask Demetria Carpenter in Hill 306.
