The Office of Records and Registration offers this
step-by-step enrollment checklist to prepare you for
your TCNJ Orientation in January. Please utilize
this checklist to stay on track as we work together to
prepare for your first semester at TCNJ.
STEP 1: PLACEMENT TESTING
As a student enrolling in TCNJ, you may be required
to take some placement tests to ensure appropriate
course placement. Please review the Placement Testing
Booklet to determine if you need to take a Language
and/or Writing Test. You will also find information
on how we assess your level of Mathematics for those
majors that require a Calculus-based course.
The placement book can be found at the following
website: http://transferreg.pages.tcnj.edu/
STEP 2: TCNJ EMAIL
Your email address is username@tcnj.edu, which
you can access through the Google Apps icon at
today.tcnj.edu. Check your TCNJ email for critical
messages from your academic department and
the Office of Records and Registration leading up
to Orientation. The College's official method for
communicating with you is through your TCNJ
email account so it is essential for you to check this
on a daily basis.
STEP 3: PAWS SELF-SERVICE
Learn to navigate PAWS, (Primary Academic Web
Services), where you will access course descriptions,
search for classes using the "shopping cart" feature,
review your academic requirements report and view
your transfer credits. In addition, PAWS is home to
course evaluations, exam schedules and grades. Learn
to navigate PAWS by reviewing the helpful tutorials
