Rowan University Transfer Process

RCSJ students can seamlessly transfer to Rowan University, benefiting from streamlined admissions, advising support, and strong academic partnership opportunities available.

Your application for most majors consists of Rowan University’s online Transfer Application and copies of your Official Academic Transcripts from RCSJ.              

Please note that Rowan requires copies of your official transcripts from all higher education institutions; if you had attended or earned credit from any other college or university, please contact them directly to have them send copies of your official transcripts.             

If you have earned fewer than 24 credit hours, you will also be asked to submit your official high school transcripts. Additionally, Rowan recommends that all applicants complete the FAFSA.              

In order to obtain general admission into Rowan University, transfer students must have successfully completed a minimum of 12 college-level credit hours with a GPA no lower than 2.0. However, there are a few majors that have additional requirements:             

Performing Arts – Art, Music, Theatre, Dance, Music Industries  

Art, Music, or Theatre and Dance  

Engineering – Biomedical, Chemical, Civil & Environmental, Electrical & Computer, Engineering Entrepreneurship, Mechanical  

  • 3.5 GPA for guaranteed admission  
  • 3.0 – 3.49 GPA for consideration  
  • Please note this application usually takes longer for the engineering admissions committee to review  

Business – Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Finance, HR Management, Management, Management Information Systems, Marketing, Supply Chain and Logistics  

  • 2.5 GPA  
  • Completed MAT 152 – Applied Calculus or MAT 108 – Calculus I  
  • Completed MAT 103 – Statistics  

Once Rowan University receives your online transfer application and all necessary official transcripts, they will review your application and give you a decision. Log back into your Rowan University application portal to see what that decision is; if you have been accepted, then your next step is to confirm your decision in your application portal.  

A few days after doing this, log back into the same application portal, and find a list of things to do. Among them is signing up for a remote advising appointment with your new Rowan University Advisor.
