Applying as a Transfer Student

If you are pursuing an online bachelor’s degree, have completed high school or a GED and have 12 or more transferable credits (or an associate’s degree), apply as a Rowan Online transfer student.

1. Choose Your Program & Check its Requirements

To begin, explore our online bachelor’s degree programs 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

To see how your previously earned credits will count toward a Rowan Online degree, visit our Transferring Your Credits page. Use the Rowan Transfer Equivalency Digital Portal (TREQ) to get an overview of the degree requirements your transfer credits satisfy. 

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).

4. Submit Your Academic Records

While filling out your application, submit or unofficial official 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.

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 & File Your FAFSA

During the application process, check out Rowan Online’s Tuition & Aid page for details on transfer student scholarships and grants. You’ll also find information on how to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which can help you find federal student aid.

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.
