If you are prevented from registering, please check to see if there are “Hold Flags” or “holds” on your account screen and why they are there.

More on Registering for Classes
- Any student who has received an undergraduate degree and wishes to take a graduate level course is considered a graduate student.
- Students who present evidence of a master's degree (see attached form) are not restricted to the 9 credit limit, but must register as a non-matriculated student.
- In order to register for courses, you must be included in our computerized student information system (Banner).
- If you have previously attended Rowan (or have applied to The Graduate School recently), it is likely that you are already included in Banner and you may register as a Non-Matriculated or Pre-Matriculated student.
