Information for Counselors
School counselors play an instrumental role in helping students choose the university that’s right for them. The following resources can help you and your students learn more about Rutgers University.
Counselors' Information Center
The Counselors' Information Center (CIC) gives you access to information about your students’ applications including education history, required items, and application status for all Rutgers schools they have applied to (each year by the second week in October). The CIC also allows you to manage your counselor profile and update contact information for your school. This restricted site requires a Rutgers CommunityID for login authentication purposes.
- If you already completed the access request process and set up your Rutgers CommunityID, log in to the Counselors' Information Center.
- If you want to check the status of your access request, see our Troubleshooting Guide. If you have questions, contact us.
- To request access to the Counselors' Information Center, complete the Access Request Form linked below.
