International Graduate Students: Maintaining Your Full-Time Status

All international students are required to be matriculated (accepted) into a graduate program and must take at least 9 credits (full-time status), which are applicable to the degree program, per semester to maintain legal status with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. Rowan University is a state educational institution and, therefore, must abide by state and federal regulations. Questions about this regulation should be directed to International Student Services at internationalstudents@rowan.edu.

United States immigration law places responsibility upon the individual student to know and follow all relevant immigration regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may have very severe consequences for your ability to study, seek employment, or even remain in the United States.

For complete information on studying in the US, costs and financial aid, housing, health/immunization requirements, international student orientation and more, visit the Rowan University International Student Services website. (opens in a new window)

Note: If you are a US Citizen or a Permanent Resident of the US, go to the Future Students area of our website and to the standard Graduate Application to apply to The Graduate School.
