Non-matriculate & Visiting Students

You are a non-matriculated/visiting student if you have not (or have not yet) been formally admitted and matriculated into a Rowan degree or certificate program. Before you can register at Rowan as a non-matriculated/visiting student, you must first be activated in Rowan’s student information system.

How to Register as a Non-matriculated/Visiting Student

In traditional-format, on-campus undergraduate coursework

If you want to take traditional (on-campus, 16-week) undergraduate coursework only, please contact the Rowan University Registrar’s Office at:

• The Registrar will activate your account– often over the phone.
• Your next step is to 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;
  • You are otherwise eligible to register for the course according to the pre-requisites and restrictions listed in the Section Tally ;
  • There is space available in the course; and,
  • The max enrollment is not set at “0” and so the course allows online registration

  Note:  Most accelerated, off-site, online, and hybrid courses do not allow online registration.

• Once you have confirmed the above and have the CRN (Course Registration Number – the number all the way to the left in a course’s Section Tally entry), you are ready to register yourself online in Rowan’s Self Service system (www.rowan.edu/selfservice ).
• Visit the Registrar’s Office website for online registration deadlines and instructions.
