Rowan University has a mandatory housing policy for students in their first or second year at the institution, requiring students to live in campus housing. However, there are criteria that excuse transfer students from this policy. For example: if a student is over 21 years old, or will be transferring in more than 58+ credits. For more information on the mandatory housing policy, please click here.  

Rooms may be single or double occupancy with a minimum of 4 students to an apartment. All buildings are co-ed and offer single-gender suites/apartments, and the option of Gender Inclusive Housing as well. All spaces are fully furnished with a bed, dresser, desk, and closet or wardrobe space for each student. Most rooms are carpeted. Non-carpeted rooms may be requested on a space-available basis. Air-conditioning is standard in all apartments except Triad. Internet, as well as cable services, are included.

Students with medical needs that necessitate housing accommodation will need to work with the Academic Success Center.

Their office can be reached at: successcenter@rowan.edu | (856) 256-4259.

The deadline to roommate match for new incoming and transfer students is June 6th, 2026. 

Incoming Transfer or Graduate students are able to mutually match with other students as long as: 

• Both are incoming students (cannot be a current student or incoming first-year undergraduate student)
• Both students have completed the housing application
• Requests are made and accepted before the roommate matching deadline 

Beyond this deadline, students are unable to make roommate requests. While we work to accommodate every match possible, please keep in mind that roommate matches are NOT GUARANTEED by the University.
