New Student Orientation (January)

We are excited to have you join our University community. Orientation provides you with the information you need to make the most of your Rowan experience.

Here's what you will experience at orientation:

• Academic Success workshop and a brief overview of General Education and other graduation requirements;
• academic advising;
• time to build you schedule and register for spring term classes;
• opportunities to connect with other students;
• an introduction to Rowan student services and involvement opportunities.

New Student Orientation Reservations

Orientation reservations for students beginning classes in the spring term 2022 will be available early fall 2021.  

An optional Parent & Family Orientation program is held concurrently with New Student Orientation, but students and their parents & adult family members will follow separate orientation schedules.  You can register parents & adult family members when completing your orientation reservation.  

All new undergraduate students (all freshmen and transfer students) are required to attend orientation.  If you previously attended a Rowan University orientation program and were accepted as a readmit, you are not required to attend orientation, but are encouraged to do so to learn about any policies that may have changed or new resources available to you.

Students must reserve a spot to attend orientation in advance. We utilize the Admissions portal for orientation reservations.  Not every date may be offered for all majors, and sessions will close when maximum capacities are reached. 

Inclement Weather Plan

Orientation will be held as long as Rowan University remains open. Please check the Rowan University website and sign-up for Rowan Alert to be notified about university closings in case of inclement weather. Instructions can be found here: https://sites.rowan.edu/publicsafety/emergencyservices/officeofemergency/weather.
