The Office of Records and Registration offers this
step-by-step enrollment checklist to prepare you for
your TCNJ Orientation. 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 and Assessment
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
and videos at https://pawshelp.tcnj.edu/undergraduate-
students/current-students/
