- Set Up Your NetID
-
All faculty, staff, and students are assigned a unique Rutgers identifier known as a NetID. In order to access most electronic services at Rutgers, you must activate your Rutgers NetID and set a password. During the activation process you will establish your Rutgers email address and set up services. Additional information on computing resources can be found in the Faculty Staff Technology Guides.
- Explore State & Non-State Benefits
-
As a new employee at Rutgers University, you are afforded a generous benefits package. In order to take advantage of these benefits, you must enroll in the specific programs that you are eligible for. After attending the New Employee Orientation, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the following information:
- Complete I-9 & E-Verify Process
-
New employees should complete section I of the I-9 by the end of their first day of employment. A list of acceptable documents needed for the I-9 can be found here.
- Check In With Your Manager
-
Check in with your new manager/supervisor to review first day information. This includes where to meet them when you arrive on your first day, what documents you may need to bring, where to park, and other key details.
- Set Up Your Employee ID Card
-
The RUID Card is your official university identification card providing access to certain facilities and benefits based on your job responsibilities, applicable policies, and the terms and conditions of your employment. After your new employee record has been created by your department, please upload your favorite business-appropriate ID card photo to the online photo submission website. This photo upload process is available via desktop computer or mobile device. Once your photo is uploaded, you will be able to stop by University Human Resources (UHR) to pick up your new RUID card. When arriving at UHR you will have to show a valid form of government-issued photo identification before you are presented with your RUID card.
For additional information about the RUID Card, please visit the ID Card website.
- Register for Parking

The Department of Transportation Services (DOTS) is committed to providing all members of the Rutgers community with the best possible solutions for getting around campus safely and easily. The university maintains various parking facilities including permit-controlled lots and decks, access-controlled lots, and restricted assigned lots. Transportation to, from, and on all campuses includes campus transit and shuttle services, walking and bike paths, and public transportation services. Access parking information here.
If you attend the weekly New Employee Orientation, your department can provide your car information along with your orientation registration to obtain a temporary guest parking permit.
- Plan Your Commute
-
Take the time to plan your new commute into the office. Review maps, account for traffic, and take a test trip or two to familiarize yourself with your new commute.
