Student Financial Incentives and Discounts:
Summer 2013 Award: Like & Learn!
For: Currently Matriculated & Registered Rowan Summer Students Runs April 1- July 30th On the Rowan Summer Facebook Page Prize: $1000! Winner announced after August 2nd on Facebook (and email to winner)
Like the “Rowan Summer Session” on Facebook and register for (and successfully complete) any Summer 2013 Rowan course (as an admitted/matriculated Rowan student) and you will be entered in the award drawing.
We’ll do the drawing at the end of the Summer 2013 semester (once we see all confirmed earned summer hours). The winner will be announced on Facebook and via individual email and be awarded the prize of a $1000!
Save money by taking Summer 2013 courses which are still offered at the 12-13 rates!
More online courses for undergrads at special discount!
Not near the Rowan campus in the summer? Not a problem! Summer 2013 features many online courses for undergraduates which will allow you to take coursework without coming to campus or interrupting your summer work schedule.
Even better, we are offering a 15% tuition discount for online undergraduate courses offered during the regular 8 week session (06/04/13 – 07/29/13). That’s a savings of approximately $350 per 3-credit course!
The 15% discount for selected online, undergraduate courses during the sixth session is off the prevailing on-campus rate and will be reflected on your bill with the credits from eligible courses being charged at the lower rate. The discount does not appear on the listed tuition & costs on the web since it is attached directly to eligible courses.
Bonus Money for Summer 2013 credits!
Earn money for your Summer 2013 coursework. For Summer 2013, fully matriculated Rowan students can earn $100 for 6 earned summer credits, $125 for 7 or 8 earned summer credits and $150 for 9 or more earned credits this summer. The monies will be awarded as a discount to the student accounts after the last drop/add session to those students who are eligible. (Note: This incentive originally involved Boro Bucks. While we will no longer be using Boro Bucks, the award amount has not changed.)
Special Registration Perks for Summer 2013 Enrollees:
No cancel guarantee for certain summer courses!
Have summer courses been cancelled on you in the past? Register early and you may be able to benefit from our special no-cancel guarantee. While registration remains open throughout the summer, all students are advised to register for all of their summer courses by 04/25/13, if possible. Any Summer 2013 undergraduate course that meets a minimum enrollment of 12 by April 25, 2013 is guaranteed not to be cancelled! (Note: This enrollment minimum is only used for this special benefit in order to guarantee the course will not be cancelled. 12 is not the required minimum enrollment for Rowan summer courses. Minimums vary and many summer courses can and will run with fewer than 12 enrolled.)
Summer 2013 and Fall 2013 registration will open at the same time to help you better plan.
Registration for Summer 2013 and Fall 2013 begins on March 25, 2013 (based on earned credits) and many courses are available to view now on the Section Tally. We strongly encourage you to think about your summer and fall plans together. Meet with your Advisor and discuss if there might be some ways to strategically use summer to help you get ahead, take care of a pre-req you need for fall or spring, or enroll in summer for a course that is full in the fall. This way, you’ll save money by paying 12-13 rates and you won’t fall behind with your academic plan.
Don’t see a Summer 2013 course that you need?
Let us know at cgceacademicservices@rowan.edu. If enough students need the same course, it may still be possible to add it to the Summer 2013 schedule! If we are able to add the course, you will be emailed (most likely by the first week in May 2013).
