Review your Financial Aid (if applicable)

Renew your FAFSA for the current academic year to ensure you don't miss out on any potential funding. Unsure of your status?  Contact our Financial Aid office.

Consult with Your Academic Advisor/Program Coordinator and Register for Classes

Your Program Coordinator is the expert for your program - contact them for questions about your coursework, academic progress, thesis and other academic requirements, placements/field experience requirements, and additional academic questions. We recommend that you contact your advisor prior to registering for coursework.

We recommend and encourage you to register early for your courses, to ensure registration in required and preferred classes.
Registration opening dates are found here. Registration instructions are available here and/or you can reach out to globalstudent@rowan.edu 

Review and Complete Mandatory Pre-Entrance Health Forms

If you are enrolling in a degree seeking program, you must complete pre-entrance health forms. See Wellness Center requirements and complete steps 1 and 2. Failure to meet these requirements may
jeopardize your registration and result in a financial penalty.  Questions about pre-entrance health forms for incoming students should be directed to wellnesscenter@rowan.edu 
  • Students enrolled in a certificate of graduate study, advanced graduate study, or post-baccalaureate program do not need to complete the pre-entrance health forms.

Pay Your Bill/Waive Health Insurance

You will receive a notice - via your Rowan University email account - once your bill becomes available to view and pay. Once your bill is available, you will be able to waive health insurance. Further instructions are available through the Office of the Bursar.
