ALL Registrar-related needs of undergraduate students during the fall and spring terms (except those in 100% Rowan Global programs)* are managed by the Office of the University Registrar: www.rowan.edu/registrar; registrar@rowan.edu.

*Students in Rowan Global programs, or winter and summer students, should contact Rowan Global directly at globalstudent@rowan.edu for any registration-related needs.

Who Can Register

Students who have been accepted and matriculated into a Rowan University undergraduate program may register in fall or spring** during the designated registration period for their classification (senior, junior, sophomore, freshman, etc.), when online registration is offered for that particular term, via their self-student account (www.rowan.edu/selfservice). Students who have been accepted for a future term (ex: accepted for Fall 2023, but would like to take a Summer 2023 course) are considered non-matriculated, and are permitted to accumulate no more than 24 total credits of undergraduate coursework (11.5 per term) until accepted and matriculated into an undergraduate program. Students in this type of situation should follow the instructions on the "Visiting/Non-matriculated Student" drop-down on this page. 

• First-time matriculated Freshmen students are manually registered for their very first term (between April-August the fall term before they begin courses) by the Office of the University Registrar in partnership with University Advising and according to academic department course guidelines for the student's particular major.
  • It is very important that incoming students complete any required placement testing ASAP after confirming their plan to attend Rowan U, as initial registration is dependent upon students being text exempt or test complete.
  • The mandatory Orientations for incoming students have time set aside for students to meet with Advisors and re-work any schedules at that time if needed.
• First-time matriculated Transfer students register themselves online via their self-student account (www.rowan.edu/selfservice) for their very first term of coursework in consultation with their major's Program Guide as well as their academic advisor. Generic questions about transferring/getting started at RU, may be sent to transferhelp@rowan.edu.

Registering for the First Time & System Activation for Fall & Spring Undergraduates **

• Find the courses you want to register for in Rowan’s Section Tally.
• Once you find a course you want in the Section Tally confirm the following before attempting registration:
  • You are already activated in Rowan’s student information system for registration;
  • There is space available in the course;
  • The max enrollment is not set at "0" and so the course allows online registration;
  • You are otherwise eligible to register for the course according to the pre-requisites and restrictions listed in the Section Tally (click on the CRN and then the course title to find this information);
    • If you need a pre-requisite waiver or capacity waiver (permission to enroll in a course that is full), you should email the instructor of the course for an override/registration permission.
    • If you need any other special override, you should email the academic department in which the course is housed for permission to enroll/obtain an override.
• Once you have confirmed the above, (especially that you have been activated in the RU system), and have the CRN (Course Registration Number – the number in the first column in a course’s Section Tally entry), you are ready to register yourself online in Rowan’s Self Service system (www.rowan.edu/selfservice). 

Ongoing Registration & Registration Instructions
