The Graduate Registrar's Office is in the Administration Services Building on the Busch campus. Full time students register for four courses (five for M.P.A.P. students) per semester; most students will register for required courses first. Registration can be changed after meeting with your advisor on the first day of the semester. Changing your registration is done using the Rutgers telephone registration system or Web site. Fees are due after registration. Once you are in the Rutgers computer system (registered), you can sign up for computer accounts (email), and get access to a parking permit.
The third floor computer lab in the Civic Square Building has its own registration process and requires a printing fee. Once you are registered, and have paid your computer fees, you can go to the computer lab at Bloustein or another Rutgers University Computer Lab and sign up for a Rutgers NetID. The NetID allows you to access all web-based university systems and serves as your Rutgers email (NetID@eden.rutgers.edu).
Identification IDs can be obtained at RU Connection Offices. Two forms of ID are required at the time of the application (at least one should be a photo ID). There is a RUCs office located in the Busch student center: http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~ruconxn/, and another at Records Hall by Alexander Library, Room 102, but only after registering. Once you have your ID card, please contact Lynn Astorga, Coordinator for Graduate Student Services, at lastorga@rci.rutgers.edu to request that your card be activated for access to the Bloustein School building.
Lockers are available on a first-come, first-serve basis in the Student Lounge on the second floor for graduate students of the Bloustein School.
Graduate student mailboxes and mail folders are located on the second floor in the student lounge, either in the entrance hallway (Ph.D. and Public Policy Masters Students) or to the right after entering the room, near the bulletin boards (Urban Planning Masters Students). Students are encouraged to check mailboxes regularly for incoming mail, announcements about graduation, program requirements, etc. From time to time, the school will circulate important notices to student mailboxes for review and/or action.
Parking for students is available throughout the city, by either parking curbside, metered, or in a municipal parking garage. After 4:30pm and on weekends, students may park in the parking garage under the Civic Square building—but need to register with the University Department of Transportation Services and obtain proper decals and a hangtag for this option.
The Bloustein School is a 5-10 minute walk from the New Brunswick Train station. Discount student passes are available for NJ Transit, the state's mass transit train system. A certification form must be obtained at the NJ Transit ticket counter and then brought to the graduate records office (in the Administration Building at Busch Campus) to have the form certified that you are a student. The discount is 25% off the regular price for a monthly commuter pass. Click here to visit the New Jersey Transit Web site
