  • 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

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.
