While filling out your application, submit official or unofficial transcripts from all institutions where you completed undergraduate and graduate coursework. Ask their counseling office(s) to send electronic transcripts to Rowan through Parchment, Slate.org or SCOIR.

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