Rutgers University Dance Marathon (RUDM) is one of Rutgers' proudest campus traditions and a "must do" opportunity for getting involved. RUDM is the largest student-run philanthropic event in New Jersey with a mission to provide emotional and financial support for children who are a part of Embrace Kids Foundation. RUDM participants raise funds and awareness to support the non-medical needs of children with cancer, sickle cell, and other serious disorders for the course of the academic year.

On March 28, 2026 more than 1,000 students, alumni, patient families, and community members will come together for a final celebration. Don't miss the chance to cross RUDM off your own #RUcketlist this year! You can register to be a dancer for RUDM 2026 at rudm.org anytime after September 1.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a requirement for all students receiving federal, state, or university financial assistance while enrolled at Rutgers. 

SAP requires maintaining a minimum GPA, completing a certain percentage of attempted credits, and completing a degree within a specified time frame.   

• Keep in mind: Your financial aid eligibility is based not only on your grades, but also on the number of credits you attempt and successfully complete each semester. 

• Important: Failing or withdrawing from courses MAY affect your ability to receive financial aid in the future.   

Work with an academic advisor to develop a balanced schedule each semester. Be sure to use Academic Support resources for strategies to successfully complete course requirements.  

If you do not meet the minimum SAP standards, you have the opportunity to appeal for continued eligibility for financial aid.

The Office of Financial Aid's Scarlet $ense program provides comprehensive Financial Planning programming, presentations, groups, and one-on-one sessions that are available to all Rutgers University students.
