1. The degree has been earned in Division I (First Class or First Class with Distinction); and
2. The awarding institution has been accredited by India’s National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with a grade of “A” or better

Please note: for 3-year degrees that do not use the classifications, any student with an average of 7+, so long the school is rated A or A+, we will consider 4-year Bachelor’s degree.

If you do not meet the above requirements, then you will be considered an undergraduate transfer applicant.

Unofficial scanned copies of transcripts are accepted for admissions purposes only. Admitted international students are required to submit official transcripts (paper or electronic) prior to registering for classes. If admission is offered, there will be a hold on your student account pending these requirements that will restrict you from registering for classes, viewing your schedule, attending class, adding or dropping courses and more.

Yes! Students can apply while completing their final year of undergraduate study. For the unofficial transcripts requirement, you should submit your transcripts/mark sheets from all completed semesters (3 years) for evaluation. We do not accept coursework in progress. Additionally, we require a Bonafide Certificate in place of the University-issued Provisional or Original Degree Certificate. The Bonafide Certificate will fulfill the Copy of Original Degree and Consolidate Transcript checklist requirements. 

 If you do not yet have your Original Degree to submit during the application process, we will accept one of the following (depending on your situation) to fulfill that checklist item:

• Scanned copy of Provisional Certificate - a document that certifies a student meets requirements for the degree and serves as a temporary copy of the degree diploma that can be used until the official one arrives.
• Scanned copy of Bonafide Certificate - a document that certifies the fact that the person alluded to is its genuine student pursuing a certain course/degree program (in progress).
• Scanned copy of Course Completion Certificate - a document that verifies a student has successfully completed all course requirements, including passing all of the program's written and practical exams, but may not have received the degree/provisional certificate yet.

Students should request these to be sent to us via postal mail or electronically. Official documents must be sent directly from a University official/administrator. These cannot be sent by the student. 

*Please note for admitted international transfer students, official transcripts must come directly from the institution via postal mail or secure portal (such as Parchment or Clearing House) in order to be evaluated for transfer credits. These cannot be emailed from a University official. Official documents can be sent directly from a University official/administrator using an institutional email for Freshman and Graduate students only.

We know paying for tuition can be difficult. That is why Rowan provides students other financial assistance needed to put their education first. Admitted graduate students may be eligible to apply for other financial assistance through Graduate Assistantships (GAs) or Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs). 

See below:

Graduate Assistant (GA)
Graduate Assistants are graduate students who provide academic and program support. GA responsibilities may be administrative in nature, consisting of duties that typically are not related to teaching or research. Such activities may include assisting with the administration of student services, participating in student recruiting, assisting in program planning, and advising undergraduate student groups. Graduate Assistantships can be granted as full- or part-time during one single academic year (fall and spring terms).

No! We conduct a course-by-course evaluation of students' transcripts at no cost to you.

However, Rowan accepts Foreign Credential Evaluation Reports from service providers ​which are members of NACES. If students already have a foreign credential evaluation, and submit an official copy required for admissions purposes, we will offer you the opportunity to apply to Rowan free of charge and provide an application fee waiver.
