Access the Terra Dotta Portal

Terra Dotta is the International Student Portal, which you will use throughout your time as an F-1 student at Rowan University. Before you can apply for your I-20, you must have access to Terra Dotta. 

• Accept the offer of admission and pay the enrollment deposit in your admissions portal. Contact the admissions team at international@rowan.edu with any questions about this step or any other admissions-related processes.
  
  
• After you pay your enrollment deposit, activate your NetID. NetID is the login information you will use throughout your time at Rowan University. 
  • It may take up to 48 hours for your enrollment deposit to be processed in our system. If you are unable to activate your NetID immediately, please try again in a few days. 
  • If you have any issues, please contact Rowan IRT at  support@rowan.edu or +1 856-256-4400.
    
    
• After you activate your NetID, log into your Rowan University email address. 
  • Please do not contact any Rowan University office or official with your personal email address from this point forward. You should only use your student email address! 
    
    
• 2-3 business days (Monday-Friday) after activating your NetID, an email will be sent to your student email address with instructions on how to log into Terra Dotta and submit your I-20 application. 
  
  
• From this point on, you can access Terra Dotta at the link: ic.rowan.edu. 
  • You will only be able to access Terra Dotta AFTER you complete the above steps! 
  • Please contact the International Center at rowanic@rowan.edu if you have any questions about Terra Dotta.
