What should I be doing now?

Review the onboarding checklist to confirm that you are on track in submitting administrative items to help us prepare for your first day. You can access the Onboarding Checklist in your applicant portal at apply.business.rice.edu/account/login and click the ONBOARDING tab at the top.

Featured checklist items:

• Clear holds in ESTHER
  Login to ESTHER and begin clearing the required holds that will prevent your registration for courses. Instructions to clear holds are available here.

• If you have not already done so, complete your Onboarding Survey 

• Time is running out and ALL students are required to either waive the health insurance offered by Rice or purchase the Rice Health Insurance Plan. Please work on the completion of the Student Health Data Form now, as you will not be able to register as a student without it on file and the university’s deadline for it is July 1.

As an incoming student, you can look to your RBSA to advocate for your cohort by communicating with staff, building community and traditions through iconic social events like weekly Partios and the JGSB Gala, and expanding your network by uniting all MBA programs, faculty, and alumni.
