Your Department Coordinator should arrange the completion of the following items prior to or upon arrival to facilitate a smooth transition

1. Net ID (for Faculty and Staff)

All faculty, staff, students, and guests are assigned a Rutgers unique identifier known as a NetID, comprised of initials and a unique number (e.g. jqs23). To access many of the electronic services available to you at Rutgers, you need to activate your Rutgers NetID. Your assigned NetID will appear on the activation screen.

Guest Net ID (for visiting scholars and non-affiliated family members) Guest Request System is an enterprise self-service tool that enables a guest to submit their request(s) to obtain a digital identity at Rutgers University. The request will be submitted for approval to the appropriate sponsor. Once the request is approved, the departments' guest administrators process the request and the guest is notified with instructions to obtain and activate their digital identifier called a NetID.

2. RU Connection ID Card (Faculty and Staff)

Guest ID Card (for visiting scholars and non-affiliated family members) Rutgers visitors and other university guests who require a Rutgers ID card for use of authorized privileges must first be listed as a Guest in the university's Registry (database). ID Cards for visiting scholars are issued for a period of up to one year, after which they must be renewed by submitting an updated request form, turning in the expired card, and paying the associated fee. To become a guest in the university's Registry, your sponsoring department must submit a Guest Role/NetID request form.
