Rowan considers international applicants students who entered or plan to enter the United States on a non-immigrant visa (e.g., F-1 or J-1) and maintain non-immigrant status throughout their study at Rowan University. This includes those who have submitted residency application documents to USCIS, but have not received formal approval verifying that you have become a permanent resident of the United States of America. Domestic (or U.S.) applicants are students who are United States citizens, permanent residents of the United States (“Green Card” holder), asylees, refugees, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) students, undocumented students, or DACA students.
If you have completed 12 or more college credits at another institution at the time of your application, you are considered a transfer student.
Submit your application and pay $45 (USD) application fee.
Submit your college transcripts. If your document is not translated to English a certified English translation is necessary. All official transcripts will be required prior to the beginning of the semester. A Foreign Credential Evaluation Report is optional.
