Congratulations!

Congrats on taking the first steps towards your education goals. Have you received your approval email from Guild? If not, don’t worry, you should receive an email within seven days of submitting your Guild application.

If you have received your Guild approval email, double congratulations! Here are your next steps for becoming a Guild student at Rutgers Business School Executive Education:

1 — Confirm your spot

Once your Guild application is approved, you'll need to confirm your spot in Rutgers Business School Executive Education’s program for the next start date. Please keep in mind that this step is required to successfully start your program on time. Be sure to confirm your spot by the 29th* day of the month before your start date, or you will have to start in a later term.

Rutgers Business School Executive Education will reach out to you with next steps once this step is completed.

Note: If your start date is in March, you’ll need to confirm your spot by February 27th.

If you don't confirm your spot by the 29th day, your start date will automatically update to the next start date available (up to 90 days out). You should be able to view your new start date and confirm your spot for the new start date within your Guild portal. If you don't confirm your spot for the updated start date, you will need to re-apply.

2 — Make Sure You’re Eligible

Check to make sure you're eligible for your company's education benefit, right up to the first day of your courses. Go to the Guild home page and check your eligibility status in the upper right-hand corner. For more information about eligibility, contact Guild support.

3 — Submit Your Rutgers Business School Executive Education Application

You will receive an email from Rutgers Business School Executive Education with directions on how to apply for acceptance into your chosen program. Be sure to choose the same learning program on your Rutgers application that you selected on the Guild application, or you may have to pay for the program on your own. Please also be sure to use the same name, email address, and other personal information you used on your Guild application when completing the Rutgers application. Using different information may result in delays for your start at Rutgers.

Make sure to read the email completely to understand what is required for your application.

Next, click the application link provided in the e-mail sent to you from Rutgers in order to complete and submit your program application online.

For more information, please contact your Rutgers Business School Executive Education Program Director listed in your Welcome Email.

5 — Log into your Rutgers Canvas Page within 7 Days

Make sure you log into your Rutgers Canvas account within 7 calendar days of your program start to stay enrolled in your program at Rutgers. Failure to do so may result in you being automatically dropped from the program or prevent you from continuing.

6 — Chat with Your Guild Growth Coach for Support

Once you’ve logged into your Rutgers Canvas page, you’ll have a chance to talk with your Guild Growth Coach. This is the time to discuss your education and career aspirations, ask questions, and set goals for completing your program at Rutgers.

7 — Complete Your Coursework at Rutgers
