Military & Veteran Students

Applying as a Military Student

If you are an active-duty, reservist or veteran member of the U.S. Armed Forces (or a military spouse or dependent) and wish to pursue an online degree or certification, apply as a Rowan Online military student.

1. Choose Your Program & Check Requirements

To begin, explore our accredited online degrees and certifications and select one aligned with your goals. Review its dedicated program page and note upcoming deadlines and start dates, then check for program-specific admissions requirements (which may include a minimum GPA, professional certifications or academic prerequisites). You’ll also find a transfer student time-to-completion estimate.

2. Check How Your Credits Will Transfer

You can apply previously earned credits from a community college, four-year university, qualifying exams and military training toward Rowan Online university programs. To see how those credits will apply, visit our Transferring Your Credits page and use the the Rowan Transfer Equivalency Digital Portal (TREQ).

Note that the TREQ assessment is unofficial. The Registrar’s office will provide a formal transfer credit evaluation when it receives your official transcripts (see step 4 below).

3. Complete an Online Application

To open a Rowan application, click Start Your Application below. On the following screen, navigate to the Online section and select First-Year & Transfer (if you are applying for a bachelor’s degree or undergraduate certificate) or Graduate (if you are applying for a graduate degree or certificate). Then, click Create an Account on the application portal home page.

Once logged in, click Start New Application at the bottom of the screen. If you have less than 12 transferable college credits and are pursuing a bachelor’s degree or undergraduate certificate, choose First-Year Application from the drop-down menu; if you have 12 or more such credits, choose Transfer Application. If you are pursuing a graduate degree or certificate, choose Graduate Application. You will identify as an active, reserve or veteran military member (or a military dependent) while completing your application.

4. Submit Your Academic & Military Records

While filling out your application, submit official or unofficial transcripts from all institutions where you completed high school and college courses. Ask their counseling office(s) to send electronic transcripts to Rowan through Parchment, Slate.org or SCOIR. If these options are unavailable, have the counseling office(s) email admissions@rowan.edu. Please also submit your official military transcripts (such as JSTs) so that our Admissions team can complete a transfer credit evaluation.

If paper copies are your only option, send them to Rowan University’s Office of Admissions, 225 Rowan Blvd, Glassboro, NJ 08028-2265.

5. Explore Financial Aid & Military Benefits

During the application process, check out Rowan Online’s Military Tuition & Education Benefits page for details on the funding and aid opportunities available to service members and military families.

After you’ve self-identified as a military-affiliated student and submitted an application, you’ll find a button in your application portal to connect you with Rowan’s Military Services Office. Their staff can share information on applying for VA education benefits and more.

6. Check for Admission & Credit Decisions

Our admissions team will review your application once we receive your official transcripts. You can check your admission status at any time by logging into the admissions portal or emailing admissions@rowan.edu. If you have not received an admissions decision after several weeks, double-check that nothing is missing from your application.

The Registrar’s office will conduct a formal evaluation of your previously earned credits and qualifying exams. The results of their evaluation will appear in your portal following acceptance.
