2026 Application Portal
Welcome to the 2026 Rutgers application portal! If you applied to Rutgers using the Common App, please wait until you receive our application confirmation and “next steps” email, as this includes specific CommunityID set up instruction. If this is your first time applying to Rutgers and you do not currently have a NetID, you will need to create a CommunityID in order to begin your application. Once you have created your CommunityID, you will use it to return to your application or view your admission status in the application portal.
If you applied to Rutgers using the Common App, please wait until you receive our application confirmation and “next steps” email, as this includes specific CommunityID set up instructions. If you do not have an account and are not using the Common App to apply to Rutgers, please create a new Rutgers CommunityID.
Use a personal email that will not expire after you graduate from or leave your current high school or college or employment.
If you created a CommunityID when you began your application, you must continue to use your CommunityID each time you access the application portal.
