Individual Academic Advising
Professional academic advisors are available to meet with students on an individual basis to review academic plans and explore majors. Students can either set an appointment to meet with an advisor, or utilize our walk-in hours (see Hours on our home page). Appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes and intended for more in-depth conversations, while walk-in sessions are best used for quick questions.
Group Advising TBA
We have group advising sessions available for the following majors: Biological Science (Freshmen & Sophomores), Computer Science (Freshmen), English (Freshmen) and Psychology (Freshmen and all Minors). We ask that students attend one of these sessions in order to be advised about academic planning for your major. If there are questions that cannot be addressed in a group format, individual advising sessions can be requested (see above).

Course Equivalents at Rowan for NJ Community College Courses
An equivalency is part of an articulation agreement between two institutions facilitating accurate and efficient transfer between those institutions. An equivalency is a determination by both the community college and the university that a specific course(s) at one institution is equivalent in content and credit to a specific course(s) at the other institution. By comparing equivalencies, official transcripts can be easily evaluated to grant transfer credit, which apply toward degree requirements at Rowan University.
GRAD features a GPA Calculator that shows your current GPA and helps you to compute desired GPA. You can find the link to GRAD in your self-service account under Student Records.
It is the responsibility of the student to obtain academic advising before registering for courses to assure appropriate progress toward meeting degree requirements.
