Special Populations

Chancellors, Deans and Program Directors, identify students faced with extenuating circumstances, beyond their control, that can preclude them from continuing their education at RU-N due to an inability to register for specific courses, which may cause an end to their program affiliation and loss of financial assistance.  Circumstances may include physical obstacles, restrictive occupation, rigorous collegiate responsibilities and strict special program affiliation.  The following groups have been identified to date:

  • Athletes identified by RU-N Department of Athletics as participating on an RU-N athletic team 
  • BA/MD students 
  • Honors College students 
  • Honors Living Learning Community (HLLC) students 
  • NJ Step/Mountainview students 
  • Pre-Health Learning Community Students as identified by OAS 
  • Office of Disability Student identifies a student in need of an accommodation  
  • Veterans who are certified as receiving benefits

Students who wish to appeal for special population registration status must provide a written statement explaining why they wish to be identified as a student in need of Special Population Registration, upload supporting documentation, which is required to verify your circumstances and complete online form.
