☐ Review the Post Orientation and First Year Semester Checklists with your Student Your student has been provided with a similar checklist with important action items that should be completed. Some highlighted items include: submitting immunization forms online, waiving or enrolling in the Student Health Insurance Plan, selecting a meal plan, ordering a parking permit, and completing online learning modules. The online module links will be emailed to students this summer and must be completed by the deadline. Both checklists can be found at nso.rutgers.edu/checklist.
