Graduate Registration

Who can Register

Any student who has received an undergraduate degree and wishes to take a graduate level course is considered a graduate student and should read this section. Students who have been accepted into a Rowan University graduate program, either at the master's degree, graduate certification program, or doctoral degree level, are considered matriculated and may register during the entire registration period when on-line registration is offered. Students who have not been accepted into a graduate program, are considered non-matriculated and are permitted to accumulate no more than 9 credits of graduate coursework until accepted (matriculated) into a graduate program. 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. Non- matriculated students may register via on-line registration only at the end of the times permitted to matriculated students as described in the beginning of the Schedule of Courses.

Registering for the First Time

1. In order to register for courses, you must be included in the data banks of our computerized student information system (Banner). If you have previously attended Rowan (or have applied to Rowan recently), it is most likely that you are already included in the data banks of Banner and therefore, you may register without submitting a completed form (below).

2. Students who have submitted a graduate application to the Graduate School, will be automatically entered into our Banner data banks at the time they submit the application, but will still be limited to taking no more than nine credits until accepted into a program. Students who have applied to Rowan University are considered non-matriculated until accepted into a program and may register for courses only during the designated registration times for non-matriculated students.

3. Students who have neither submitted an application nor attended Rowan in prior years, must request to register for the first time as a non-matriculated graduate student by completing the Non-Matriculated Student "Request to Register For a Graduate Course" Form available from the Graduate School website.

Any student, matriculated or non-matriculated, who has submitted an application or the attached form, and still cannot access the registration system, may call the Graduate School for registration help at 856 256-4050.

Selecting Courses

Graduate courses can be found on the last pages of the Schedule of Courses. Please be aware that some courses may not be listed in the section that has the name of the course or program in its title. Example: Many (but not all) courses in the Student Personnel Services and School Psychology programs are listed in the schedule under the heading, Special Education. If you know which program or course you are interested in, simply consult the Graduate Catalog (printed or on-line copy) which provides a detailed description of courses, course numbers, course prerequisites (if any), and program requirements.
