Transfer Credits

Transfer students offered admission will receive a credit evaluation by the registrar and the academic department. Once that evaluation is completed, an adviser can answer questions about transferring credits from another institution to Rowan.

Evaluation of university transcripts

All foreign university records must be evaluated by the World Education Services or another recognized evaluation service. Please contact the World Education Service directly (see below). Request the “course by course” evaluation. Instruct the World Education Service to send the evaluation to Rowan University, Office of International Student Services.
